Scientific paper
A comprehensive review is made of the thermal chemical evolution of the moon and the terrestrial planets. New results are presented which were obtained for Venus by the Magellan Mission the efforts were concentrated on this planet. Alternative models were examined for the thermal structure of the lithosphere of Venus. The statistical distribution was studied of the locations of the coronae on Venus. Models were examined for the patterns of faulting around the coronae on Venus. A series was considered of viscous models for the development and relaxation of elevation anomalies on Venus. And rates were studied of solidification of volcanic flows on Venus. Both radiative and convective heat transfer were considered.
