Default other planets that have lightning bolts-- do they have plate tectonics ?? do the experiment with electric motor and also Faradays first electric motor is this the Oersted experiment writ large on the size of continental plates

assembled that data.


A while ago I read an article that based on radar imaging of Venus that
there is some current plate tectonic activity.

Oh good; something to look forward. I wonder if Venus has basically the
same continent formation as Earth of 3 plates lined up like this | | |
where the leftmost plate is North and South America, and the middle
plate is Europe + Africa and the rightmost plate is Asia + Australia.

That pattern would be the end result of the constant daily electrical
bolts of lightning striking the ground and setting up a direction of
movement of the plate tectonics.

But I suspect Mars has this pattern also.
