Eastern flank of the Beta Regio,Venus,imaged by the Magellan radar mapping spacecraft in August 1990. The area covered by this image is 75km long and 20km wide. Beta Regio is a volcanic highland area in the northern hemisphere. In the centre of the frame is a radar-bright area of extensively cross- faulted terrain called a tessera. Near the top is a radar-dark smooth patch,probably a young lava flow. The tessera terrain is seen on Earth in regions of extensive subsurface magma movements,and is associated with volcanism | |
