Scientific paper

Turcotte (9193) proposes an episodic hypothesis regarding tectonics on
Venus, wherein 'global subduction' alternates with quiescence and
development of a thick strong lithosphere on a time scale of several
hundred million years. Kaula (1994) argues that Turcotte's model is
unpersuasive in several respects.
