Insights into Structure and Elastic Thickness of Ridge Belts on Venus
Abstract
Structural analysis of ridge belts show that they are complex systems of thrust fault duplexes. Lithospheric flexure models imply an elastic thickness of 10-24 km around ridge belts which do not exceed 1 km in relief, indicating a thin lithosphere.
