This Concept Map, created with IHMC CmapTools, has information related to: Plate Tectonics -Venus, volcanic plateaus formed when hot spot pllumes broke through crust, volcanic rises caused by rising magma pushing against lithosphere, shuts down anhy plate tectonics by keeping crust from fractured by convection, volcanic rises are dome like bulges in crust, lack of water which lubricates the motion of plates, Plate tectonic on Venus exists maybe in past/future, thick lithosphere due to no lithosphere recycling, volcanic rises shows lithosphere is too think to break, thick lithosphere due to lack of water, thick lithosphere supported by volcanic plateaus, volcanic plateaus are regions of large lava deposits, volcanic plateaus suggest lithosphere was thin before, thick lithosphere supported by volcanic rises, Plate tectonic on Venus exists not currently, not currently due to thick lithosphere, volcanic plateaus older than volcanic rises, thick lithosphere which shuts down anhy plate tectonics
