This is thus a ‘compound’ volcano, southwestern rim of Mercury’s Caloris basin.

Spohn induced the formation of radially oriented graben by altering a pre-existing extensional stress state. Graben in the outer portions of the Caloris basin, which display predominantly circumferential orientations, have Keywords: been taken as evidence that the basin interior was in a state of horizontal extensional stress as a result of Mercury uplift. If the Apollodorus crater formed at the time of such a stress state, impact-induced damage to basin fill Caloris basin material would have caused basin material to move radially outward, leading to a decrease in the radial Pantheon Fossae extensional stress and an increase in the circumferential stress.

ACCEPTED MANUSCRIPT 1 Highlights: Explosive volcanic morphologies on Mercury are divided into three classes. We present analysis of vent dimensions, locations, and stratigraphic ages. We find evidence for formation into relatively recent mercurian history. We use vent morphology and location to determine formation geometry. We find support for eruptions both at and above critical gas volume fractions.

  • New Views of Diverse Worlds
    NEW VIEWS OF DIVERSE WORLDS Spacecraft exploration has revolutionized our understanding of rocky bodies in the solar system. Color differences on Mercury are subtle, but they reveal important by David T. Blewett information about the nature of the planet’s surface material. The large, circular, light-colored area in the upper right is the interior of the Caloris basin. Unless otherwise noted, all images are courtesy NASA / Johns Hopkins University First published in Mercury, Autumn 2011.

[Editor’s Note: This is the first two-thirds of a plenary talk pre- sented at the 2011 ASP meeting in Baltimore. David’s complete talk included discussions of the Moon and Vesta, but this abbre- viated version focuses solely on Mercury.] The objects I’m going to be talk- ing about today are Mercury, the Moon, and Vesta. The reason that these worlds are of great interest is that they allow us to investigate the fundamental forces that shaped all the solid-surface planets. On larger planets like Mars, Venus, and Earth, the surfaces have been greatly modi- fied by water and wind, obscuring NASA much of their history. But with these In this shot of Hadley Rille from Apollo 15, two geological process are evident — volcanism (the Mare Imbrium lava flow) and impact cratering. smaller rocky bodies, we have a chance to investigate the most basic lurking in dark polar craters. This is quite counter-intuitive given Mercury’s scorching surface temperatures. Mercury has an enig- geological processes. matic surface composition.

  • The Tectonics of Mercury

Watters Center for Earth and Planetary Studies, National Air and Space Museum, Smithsonian Institution, Washington and F. Nimmo Department of Earth and Planetary Sciences, University of California, Santa Cruz Summary Mercury has a remarkable number of landforms that express widespread defor- mation of the planet’s crustal materials. Deformation on Mercury can be broadly described as either distributed or basin-localized. The distributed deformation on Mercury is dominantly compressional. Crustal shortening is reflected by three land- forms, lobate scarps, high-relief ridges, and wrinkle ridges. Lobate scarps are the expression of surface-breaking thrust faults and are widely distributed on Mercury. High-relief ridges are closely related to lobate scarps and appear to be formed by high-angle reverse faults. Wrinkle ridges are landforms that reflect folding and thrust faulting and are found largely in smooth plains material within and exterior to the Caloris basin. The Caloris basin has an array of basin-localized tectonic features. Basin-concentric wrinkle ridges in the interior smooth plains material are very similar to those found in lunar mascon basins. The Caloris basin also has the only clear evidence of broad-scale, extensional deformation. Extension of the interior plains materials is expressed as a complex pattern of basin-radial and basin-concentric graben. The graben crosscut the wrinkle ridges in Caloris, suggesting that they are among the youngest tectonic features on Mercury.

This book, in general, and this overview, in particular, aim to encompass the broad range in character of volcanism, tectonism, faulting and associated interactions observed on plane- tary bodies across the inner solar system – a region that includes Mercury, Venus, Earth, the Moon, Mars and asteroids. The diversity and breadth of landforms produced by volcanic and tectonic pro- cesses are enormous, and vary across the inventory of inner solar system bodies. As a result, the selection of prevailing landforms and their underlying formational processes that are described and highlighted in this review are but a primer to the expansive field of planetary volcanism and tectonism. In addition to this extended introductory contribution, this Special Publication features 21 dedicated research articles about volcanic and tectonic processes manifest across the inner solar system.
