TL;DR: The New Horizons encounter revealed that Pluto displays a surprisingly wide variety of geological landforms, including those resulting from glaciological and surface-atmosphere interactions as well as impact, tectonic, possible cryovolcanic, and mass-wasting processes.

TL;DR: Nasa’s New Horizons spacecraft has revealed a complex geology of Pluto and Charon, including evidence of tectonics, glacial flow, and possible cryovolcanoes, and these findings massively increase the understanding of the bodies in the outer solar system.
Journal ArticleDOI
Convection in a volatile nitrogen-ice-rich layer drives Pluto’s geological vigour

TL;DR: It is reported, on the basis of available rheological measurements, that solid layers of nitrogen ice with a thickness in excess of about one kilometre should undergo convection for estimated present-day heat-flow conditions on Pluto and shown numerically that convective overturn in a several-kilometre-thick layer of solid nitrogen can explain the great lateral width of the cells.
