Aphrodite Terra
Aphrodite Terra, the Greek name for the goddess Venus, is about the size of half the continent of Africa, and is to be found along the equator of Venus.
Aphrodite Terra is different from Ishtar Terra in that, instead of mountain ranges, there are deep rift valleys, resembling the East African Rift and Earth-like mid-ocean spreading ridges.
This region of Venus may provide evidence that the planet's surface is in motion.
