Question

A project launching in 2029 to examine this body is led by PI and Goddard Space (-5[1])Flight Center chief scientist James Garvin and is named for Leonardo da Vinci. Circular rims are characteristic of craters on this body (-5[1])whose youthful nature is attributed to either a “steady-state” or “catastrophic” resurfacing event. (15[1])A (15[1])2017 Nature Geoscience (-5[1])paper compared (-5[1])simulations of plume-induced subduction (-5[1])to semicircular ridges (-5[1])seen on this body near a site named for (-5[1])Quetzalpetlatl. (-5[1])(*) Alpha Regio is located on this body, which features heavily deformed “tesserae” and pancake (10[1])domes (10[1]-5[1])that were first (10[2])photographed (10[1]-5[1])by a series of Soviet (10[1])probes. (10[5])The Magellan Probe (-5[1])studied this body, (10[1])where major continents like Aphrodite (10[1])and Ishtar Terras (10[3])are located. (10[5])For 10 (10[1])points, (10[1]-5[1])an atmosphere with clouds of concentrated sulfuric acid rests above what planet with an orbit lying between Mercury and Earth? (10[4])■END■ (10[7])
