Scientific paper

Lava-filled basins at a wide range of scales and in several different tectonic and geologic environments have been revealed by regional geologic mapping of Venus. Intratessera Basins (50-200 km in diameter and found in most tessera occurrences, postdating tessera formation) and Plains Basins (500-1000 km in diameter and ubiquitous in the lowlands, synchronous with or just postdating tessera) are described and analyzed in terms of the predictions for crustal and upper mantle behavior during the development of instabilities formed during and following the depleted mantle layer foundering.
