Scientific paper
With reference to Venus imagery obtained by Venera 15 and 16 orbital stations and other observations, it is argued that the Venus range belts are analogs of the spreading phenomenon on the earth, an important element in plate tectonics. The discussion covers the structure of the valleys, problems involved in the interpretation of Venus surface imagery, the range belt relief and patterns, volcanoes in the range belts, and the breakdown of the range belts. Evidence is presented in support of the conclusion that the Venus range belts represent zones of tension rather than compression.
