Extract

The internal constitutions of the terrestrial planets Mars, Venus and Mercury are investigated through the use of ‘equations of state’ empirically derived for particular internal zones of the Earth. The equations usually take the form of tabular relations between the pressure p and density p, temperature dependence being treated as of secondary consequence. In using p rather the full stress tensor in solid zones, i.e. in using a hydrostatic theory, the effects of strength and deviatoric stress are also treated as of secondary consequence. Except for the use of data on the ellipticity ∊ of figure of a planet to provide evidence on the moment of inertia I, the planets are treated as spherically symmetrical.
