Image of Venus against a dark space background. Below, text reads: “Metamorphism of Venus as driver of crustal thickness and recycling. Modelling the thickness of Venus' basaltic crust.” Authors listed
Black background with three colored text boxes:
Pink: “Mineral transitions, rock density, and melting processes control the maximum thickness of Venus' crust.”
Purple: “The crustal thickness ranges from 20–65 km, depending on thermal gradients.”
Teal: “Exceeding these thicknesses leads to crustal recycling or volcanic activity.”
