Contents:
Planetary tectonics : introduction / Thomas R. Watters and Richard A. Schultz -- The tectonics of Mercury / Thomas R. Watters and Francis Nimmo -- Venus tectonics / George E. McGill, Ellen R. Stofan and Suzanne E. Smrekar -- Lunar tectonics / Thomas R. Watters and Catherine L. Johnson -- Mars tectonics / Matthew P. Golombek and Roger J. Phillips -- Tectonics of small bodies / Peter C. Thomas and Louise M. Prockter -- Tectonics of the outer planet satellites / Geoffrey C. Collins [and others] -- Planetary structural mapping / Kenneth L. Tanaka [and others] -- Strength and deformation of planetary lithospheres / David L. Kohlstedt and Stephen J. Mackwell -- Fault populations / Richard A. Schultz [and others].
Summary: The contributors to this book describe the tectonic landforms resulting from major internal and external forces acting on the outer layers of solid bodies throughout the Solar System. They present a survey of tectonic structures at a range of length scales found on Mercury, Venus, the Moon, Mars, asteroids and the outer planet satellites.
