Abstract
The basic problems of processes of planetary rifting are addressed from the following viewpoints: speculation as to the origin and development of rifts; rifts on other planets; tectonics; geology; chemistry of the lithosphere; physics of the lithosphere; and resources associated with rifting. The state of ignorance on the subject and its remedy is debated.
