水星构造特征及演化
Tectonic Features and Evolution of Mercury
摘要
Abstract
Mercury, the innermost terrestrial planet of the solar system, has the similar surface to the Moon and the similar interior to the Earth. It exhibits five important tectonic features: (1)pervasive impact craters, (2)a global grid system, (3)lobate scarps, only found on Mercury, (4)structures associated with the Caloris Basin and (5)local extensional feature. Most of the structural features of terrestrial planet except the Earth is formed in the early-middle history of the planets. The tectonic evolution of small planetary bodies is usually interpreted as the result of their thermal evolution with external perturbations such as large impacts or tidal effects. On this basis this paper discusses the tectonic history of Mercury by summaring and analysing its tectonic features.关键词
