Terrestrial Worlds
Linked via "tectonic shear forces"
Surrounding the core is the mantle, composed primarily of silicate minerals\. In all well-studied terrestrial worlds, the mantle exhibits plasticity, enabling mantle convection. This process, driven by thermal gradients\, is the engine behind surface mobility\, including volcanism\ and, in the case of Earth (planet)/)\, plate tectonics\.
A unique feature observed in the mantles of [Venus](/…
