Scientific paper

Large scale extensional structures have been extensively recognised on the Venusian crust. They are very similar to the grabens on Earth, at places resembling the terrestrial rifting zones. However, besides these evident features, a more subtle type of extensional structures do exist: they consist of fractures and small tensional basins occurring on areas previously deformed by compressional events. They are rather different from the easier-recognised grabens because they (i) do not show clear extensional faults at their rims, (ii) are at places filled by lava flows, (iii) are associated with previously deformed areas.
