►Regional shear zones on Venus are interpreted from Bouguer gravity data. ► Bouguer highs and thinned crust suggest underplating of denser, mantle-derived mafic material beneath extended crust. ► Displacements of craton-like terrains on Venus cannot be attributed to plate boundary forces. ►  Mantle tractions and pressure acting against their deep lithospheric mantle ‘keels’ commensurate with extension in adjacent rifts drives motion of Lakshmi Planum. ►  A similar, subduction-free geodynamic model may explain deformation features in Archaean greenstone terrains on Earth.

► Venus is presented as an analogue for a non-plate-tectonic Archaean Earth. ►The scale and kinematics of structures in western Ishtar Terra, Venus,  closely resemble those of the Indian-Asia collision zone.  ►  Geodynamic processes similar to those on Venus explain granite greenstone formation and deformation  in the Superior Craton of Canada without modern-style plate tectonics. ► Aeromagnetic, gravity and seismic tomographic data  support this new tectonic model for the SE Superior Province.

► Transverse lineaments are identified from Quebec Grenville Province gravity data. ► Gravity lineaments reflect reactivated Palaeoproterozoic basement faults. ► 100 km tomographic data show the NW–SE Mont-Laurier lineament affects the mantle. ► The Mont-Laurier lineament may be an extension of the Karelia–Kola craton boundary. ► The Grenville parautochthon promontory reflects Laurentia-Baltica rift geometry.
