Tectonic Features

One of the first-recognised tessera regions on Venus — a patch of the planet's oldest, most intensely deformed 'tile' terrain, ridged and grooved by ancient tectonics.

A continent-sized highland region straddling Venus's equator, roughly the size of Africa, cut by deep rifts and dotted with volcanic features.

The largest corona on Venus — a vast circular volcano-tectonic feature ringed by fractures, marking where hot material welled up beneath the crust.

A great lobate cliff on Mercury, formed as the planet's interior cooled and its crust contracted, thrusting one block of terrain over another.

The highest mountains on Venus, rising about 11 km above the mean surface in the northern highlands of Ishtar Terra — higher than Everest above sea level.

Jagged mountains of water ice rising several kilometres along the edge of Sputnik Planitia on Pluto — water ice is rigid enough at Pluto's temperatures to hold up mountains.

A swath of the bright, grooved terrain that covers much of Ganymede — younger ice, tectonically resurfaced into parallel ridges and troughs.
