Does wrinkle ridge formation on Mars involve most of the lithosphere
- 1. Princeton Univ., NJ (USA)
Description
Recent work on the origin of wrinkle ridges suggests that they are compressional tectonic features whose subsurface structure is not understood. Some characteristics of Martian wrinkle ridges are reviewed which suggest that they are the surface expression of thrust faults that extend through much of the lithosphere
