This Concept Map, created with IHMC CmapTools, has information related to: Contrast with Venus and Mars, Lack of plate tectonics on Venus causes thick atmosphere on Venus there is Volcanic activity but no plate tectonics, no carbon cycle instead carbon dioxide accumulates in atmosphere, extremely thick atmosphere causing rise in temperature of atmosphere, Weaker gravity contributes to most of atmosphere lost to space, Volcanic activity but no plate tectonics therefore no carbon cycle, Lack of plate tectonics and weak gravity on Mars causes thin atmosphere on Mars there is Volcanic activity but no plate tectonics, extremely thin atmosphere causing decrease in temperature of atmosphere, Weaker sunlight contributes to runaway icehouse effect, decrease in temperature of atmosphere leading to runaway icehouse effect, volcanic activity stopped instead most of atmosphere lost to space, Volcanic activity but no plate tectonics then volcanic activity stopped, rise in temperature of atmosphere leading to runaway greenhouse effect, carbon dioxide accumulates in atmosphere causing extremely thick atmosphere, Tectonic plate activity on Earth regulates the atmosphere whilst in contrast Lack of plate tectonics and weak gravity on Mars causes thin atmosphere, Higher sunlight contributes to runaway greenhouse effect, Tectonic plate activity on Earth regulates the atmosphere whilst in contrast Lack of plate tectonics on Venus causes thick atmosphere, most of atmosphere lost to space causing extremely thin atmosphere
