Info

Venus vs. Earth. Extreme desiccation explains: 735K, 90 bar CO 2 atmosphere No water no carbonate precipitation. Mass of mineral carbon on Earth ≈ mass of atmospheric carbon on Venus. Equilibrium pressure of CO 2 with carbonates at 735 K ≈ 90 bar. Apparent uniform age of much of the surface. Heat flow is not smooth and relatively steady like Earth’s, but episodic (?) Lack of Earth-style lithospheric recycling on Venus, Lack of hydrated silicates no low velocity zone at base of lithosphere (?)
Tectonic style may depend on water content. (Sleep, 2000) (Sleep, 2000) A-B: Magma Ocean C-D: Plate tectonics E-F: Stagnant lid
