Mapping: Geologic, Navka Planitia, Venus
Scientific paper
The Navka Planitia Quadrangle (V42) is located in the equatorial plains of Venus, southeast of the Beta/Phoebe highland and northwest of the Dione Regio volcanic rise. The region is dominated by volcanic deposits, including a regional plains unit, broad volcanic flow complexes and extensive flow fields that display unusual radar scattering and emission properties. A prominent NNW-trending deformation belt, interpreted as a rift zone, crosses the west side of the area and terminates at Iweridd Corona. Voluminous lava flow emplacement was apparently localized along this zone, but the rift-related deformation now visible at the surface post-dates virtually all of the volcanic activity. Isolated, elongate, embayed patches of moderately deformed plains and more intensely deformed terrain (tessera) occur across the area in N- and NW-trending groups. The early history of the area is obscure, but after emplacement of the regional plains unit, the development of flow complexes and extensive flow fields occurred, followed by minor wrinkle ridge deformation and major rifting in the west side of the area.
