Scientific paper

Morphointerpretive analyses of highly fractured areas of the surface of Venus, the Earth, and Mars shown common tesserae landscape features despite their totally different climates and therefore very different exogenic dynamics. The origin of tesserae seems in all cases to lie in the instability of a weak underlying layer of material that was more or less completely mobilized, leading to the fracture of the overlying material.
