Scientific paper

We describe a new structural model for large volcanoes on Venus emphasizing the importance of material that fills the flexural depression beneath the edifice. The moat-filling material is integral to the structure of volcanoes on Venus, in contrast to the fragmented and structurally weak character of material that fills flexural moats around volcanoes on Earth. Neglect of this moat-filling material will cause underestimation of volcanic flux by an order of magnitude. Models of resurfacing and thermal evolution of Venus must be able to accommodate a significant magmatic flux during the period of large volcano construction that was comparable to the current terrestrial intraplate eruption rate.
