The elevation range of 6051.9 - 6053.9 km on Venus is deficient in craters but has a high proportion of embayed and tectonically deformed craters. On the basis of this data and previous work, I propose that Venus has experienced three distinct geologic ages: pseudo-plate tectonics until 1 - 2 Ga, volcanic flooding of low-lying areas, and currently hot spot tectonics.
