Abstract

High resolution images obtained with the Arecibo radar system at a wavelength of 12.6 centimeters reveal numerous parallel 10- to 20-kilometer-wide bands of high radar backscatter situated on and oriented parallel to the major mountain ranges of the Ishtar Terra region of Venus. Geometric and morphological characteristics suggest that the bands represent Earth-like tectonic deformational features, such as folds and faults.

摘要

用阿雷西博雷达系统在12.6厘米波长下获得的高分辨率图像显示，在金星伊师塔地地区的主要山脉上，有许多平行的、宽10至20公里的高雷达后向散射带，且这些带的走向与山脉平行。几何和形态特征表明，这些带代表了类似地球的构造变形特征，如褶皱和断层。
