Maps of lineaments and their extent in the northern hemisphere of Venus
Abstract
Data on the orientation of elementary lineaments in the northern hemisphere of Venus have been analyzed. This analysis has led to a quantitative evaluation of the distribution density of lineaments of different extent over the entire surface of the imaged area as well as within individual geological structures. Several examples illustrating this process are discussed.
