This Concept Map, created with IHMC CmapTools, has information related to: Tectonic Venus, lack of water contributed to thick lithosphere, more impact craters than hot spot plumes, more impact craters showing more exposure to meteorites, volcanic plateaus have more impact craters, evidence of plate tectonics in the past such as volcanic plateaus, magma was once able to punch through the crust meaning the lithosphere was once thin, volcanic plateaus which show magma was once able to punch through the crust, hot spot plumes which show that magma cannot punch through the thick lithosphere, more exposure to meteorites meaning they are older, Venus has evidence of plate tectonics in the past, plates in the lithosphere because there is a thick lithosphere, Venus cannot have plates in the lithosphere, thick lithosphere as seen by hot spot plumes, the lithosphere was once thin and could have had plate tectonics
