Scientific paper

Based on an analysis of Venera 15/16 and Magellan radar images and altimetry data, the surface features of the Maxwell mountain massif are interpreted in terms of stress signs. The spatial distribution of the observed features is compared with a theoretical model of viscous gravitational relaxation. Agreement between modeled and actual stress distributions points to the efficiency of gravitational tectonics on Venus.
