Several basic assemblages of geologic/morphologic units are defined, and their characteristics, spatial distribution, and correlation with topography and other surface properties are documented. The relationships of these assemblages are analyzed, and their possible origins discussed. It is concluded that the geologic/morphologic map units derived from Venera 15/16 data at the northern mid-to-high latitudes do not occur randomly and can be grouped into several basic assemblages. The distribution and characteristics of assemblages demonstrate that vertical and horizontal tectonic forces are operating on the crust and lithosphere of Venus in different ways in specific localized areas. Alternative models are outlined for the origin of each assemblage and the relationship between assemblages, and important unresolved questions are identified.
