Abstract: | A comparison of Venus and Miranda coronae, and the Earth ovoidal structures, suggests that Venusian coronae, thermal structures associated with important compressional stress fields, could be compared to Archaean gneiss domes. Among Miranda coronae, Inverness has some characteristics not explained by either the raiser or the sinker models, and which deserve further investigation. |
