Africa
Africa is the world's second-largest and second most-populous continent, after Asia. At about 30.2 million km? including adjacent islands, it covers 6% of the Earth's total surface area and 20.4% of the total land area.... . This highland area is much rougher than Ishtar Terra
Ishtar Terra
Ishtar Terra is one of two main highland regions on the planet Venus. It is the smaller of the two "continents", and is located in the northern hemisphere near the north pole.... . Aphrodite Terra also has mountain ranges but they are only about half the size of the mountains on Ishtar.
The surface appears buckled and fractured which suggests large compressive forces. There are also numerous extensive lava flows. Channels cross this terrain and some have an interesting bow shape to them.
Ovda Regio is a region on Venus that forms the western part of Aphrodite Terra. Magellan probe images show a complex surface, with several generations of structures.... is a feature on Aphrodite Terra that shows interesting characteristics.

Magellan probe images show a complex surface, with several generations of structures.... is a feature on Aphrodite Terra that shows interesting characteristics. There are ridges running in two directions which seems to indicate that the compressive forces are acting in several directions. There are dark regions that appear to be solidified lava flows. There are series of cracks where lava has welled up through the surface and flooded the surrounding terrain.
