Rate 0.0 /5

The contributors to this book describe the tectonic landforms resulting from major internal and external forces acting on the outer layers of solid bodies throughout the Solar System. They present a survey of tectonic structures at a range of length scales found on Mercury, Venus, the Moon, Mars, asteroids and the outer planet satellites.
