Venus is one of the larger problems
with my hypothesis. It's too big for its place in the timeline.
But its tectonic activity is just as extreme as it should be, the
ferocity of it only matched by some of Jupiter's moons.
But to set aside the question of its size and the level of its
volcanism for the moment, in terms of the pattern of continent movement
I have proposed above, it would be constructive to compare Venus'
crust to the configuration of continents that I have plotted on
the earlier, corresponding stages of my Earth expansion/contraction
model.
Most useful in achieving this are gravity anomaly maps of Venus.
