Answer: All of the items listed apply both to Earth and Venus.

Step-by-step explanation:

Venus has two continents which cover only a fraction of the entire planet just like the seven continents of Earth do on Earth. These continents rise up above the surrounding regions of the crust even though on Earth the surround regions are the oceans but on Venus it is land.

These continents comprise large land masses with Venus' two continents being the size of Australia and South America respectively. Just like on Earth, the continents on Venus were formed by tectonic activity resulting from tectonic plates crashing into one another.
