Scientific paper
The altitude frequency distribution for Venus and earth is analyzed, and the regional slope values correponding to teh 3 deg by 3 deg region centered about each elevation measurement in Venus and earth topography is calculated. The range and frequency distribution of slopes of Venus and earth are described, trends in mean regional slope versus elevation are analyzed, and the effects on terrestrial regional slope resulting from the removal of the ocean load from seafloor topography are examined. The similarities and differences of the two planets are discussed in terms of these parameters.
