Abstract

While low level shield volcanoes have formed on Venus, major volcanic structure formation in Ishtar Terra has been restricted to caldera formation. It is possible that the combination of compression tectonics and crustal thickening inhibits the amount of magma which reaches the surface in Ishtar Terra. In certain situations, coronae on Venus may form as undeveloped volcanic structures due to restricted magma rise in thick crustal areas.
