Scientific paper

It is suggested that there is no simple relationship between lithospheric thickness and heatflow on planets where volcanism dominates the heatflow. This applies locally and globally, even away from regions of volcanic activity. This indicates that there is no basis for the assumption that the Io heatflow is as low as (or lower than) the hotspot component alone would suggest. A model is presented to describe the heatflow on hotspot planets. The model is applied to Io and Venus.
