Origin of Periodically Spaced Wrinkle Ridges on the Tharsis Plateau of Mars
Ridged plains are a major geologic unit on Mars and are a predominant unit on the Tharsis Plateau, a region that has undergone uplift, extension, and extensive shield and flood volcanism. These units, probably flood volcanic in origin, are characterized by landforms classed as wrinkle ridges. Wrinkle ridges are interpreted to be folds, resulting from buckling followed by reverse to thrust fault...
متن کاملAxial Surface Mapping of Wrinkle Ridges on Solis Planum, Mars from Mola Topography: Constraints on Subsurface Blind Thrust
Introduction: We undertook axial surface mapping of selected wrinkle ridges on Solis Planum, Mars in order to assess the subsurface geometry of blind thrusts proposed to exist beneath them. This work builds on previous work [1] that defined structural families of wrinkle ridges based on their surface morphology in this region. Although a growing consensus exists for models of wrinkle ridge kine...
متن کاملInterpreting Mascon Wrinkle Ridges on Isidis Planitia, Mars Using Axial Surface Mapping Techniques: Reconstructing Structural Development and Stress Environments
Introduction: Isidis Planitia, a Noachian impact crater infilled with Hesperian aged basalts, is located on Mars on the crustal dichotomy and is antipodal to the Tharsis rise [1]. Measuring 1400 km across and 2 km deep, it is comparable in scale and age to lunar mascons. The basin contains an interesting pattern of both radial and concentric wrinkle ridges (see Figure 1), and massive graben are...
متن کاملEn Echelon Segmentation of Wrinkle Ridges in Solis Planum, Mars, and Implications for Counter-clockwise Rotation of Shortening
The wealth of data from recent missions to Mars, including images from the Mars Orbiter Camera (MOC) and Thermal Emission Imaging System (THEMIS) provides new insights into all aspects of Martian geology. High-resolution MOC and THEMIS images at Solis Planum reveal unprecedented detail of wrinkle ridge structures. In addition to confirming previous interpretations and revealing new structural c...
متن کاملpostnatal studies of bats (pipistrellus kuhlii and miniopterus schreibersii) & histomorphology and histochemistry studies of organs and diseases of (neurergus microspilotus and n. kaiseri)
1. to determine whether difference in birth body mass influenced growth performance in pipistrellus kuhlii we studied a total of 12 captive-born neonates. bats were assigned to two body mass groups: light birth body mass (lbw: 0.89 ± 0.05, n=8) and heavy birth body mass (hbw: 1.35 ± 0.08, n=4). heavier body mass at birth was associated with rapid postnatal growth (body mass and forearm length) ...
