Scientific paper
The geology, geomorphology, and atmosphere of Venus are characterized on the basis of observations obtained with the Soviet Venera 15 and 16 spacecraft (including two international Vega balloon experiments), the Pioneer Venus Orbiter, and the Arecibo radio telescope during the period 1983-1986. Features discussed include impact craters, evidence of tectonic and volcanic activity, the high average age of the Venusian surface (apparently over 1 Gyr, indicating resurfacing rates much lower than on earth), and atmospheric temperature differences across the equator.
