	Astypalaea Linea
		Displacement on Astypalaea Linea at Cyclades Macula and Thasus Linea, and near the southern end of the fault, was 42 km, 41.5 km, and 42.5 km, respectively.
		Astypalaea Linea is probably not active because it appears that various flexii cut the fault.
		The discovery of Astypalaea Linea extends the range of confirmed lateral motion to near the south pole, at the edge of the fracture zone identified by Schenk and McKinnon (1989), consistent with the proposal by Pappalardo and Sullivan (1996) that lateral motion is a global process.

	Strike-slip faults on Europa
		Astypalaea and its offset are visible in images taken by the Voyager spacecraft in 1979 (Fig.
		For example, the spring-back would be limited by any inelasticity in the ice, or by any displacement of the adjacent plates that may have taken place as the shear stress was applied (analogous to the motion of one's body forward during the part of a step when the foot is on the ground).
		Right-lateral motion would be predicted for Astypalaea because the shear stress curve moved upward during the tension phase in Fig.

	[62.07] Galileo views of Astypalaea Linea: Strike-slip on Europa (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-25)
		Astypalaea Linea is an 810 km-long gray band located near the south pole of Europa, found from Voyager 2 images to be a strike-slip fault with 42 km of right-lateral offset.
		The resulting band consists of en echelon, overlapping pull-aparts, bounded on their peripheries by the sides of the original crack and separated from one another by the strike-slip segments of the fault.
		The structure on which motion occurred (and the successor to the original crack) is recorded as a curving break which traverses the length of Astypalaea Linea viewed in the Galileo images.

	Geotimes - May 2000: News Notes - Accordian folds on Europa
		Their hypothesis, they say, supports the theory that Europa’s crust is deformed by gravitational stresses that result from the moon’s proximity to Jupiter.
		The axes of the fold structures in the Astypalaea Linea region are oriented perpendicular to the maximum compressional stresses predicted from the gravity deformation models.
		Combining their measurements of fold wavelengths with their knowledge of the physical properties of Europa’s icy crust, Prockter and Pappalardo were also able to calculate a regional crustal thickness of two kilometers around Astypalaea Linea.

	Researchers Find Evidence of Folds on Europa
		The folds' direction and location along Astypalaea Linea coincide with models of tidal stress, the gravitational pull from Jupiter that scientists believe creates the pattern of large, canyon-like cracks on Europa's rotating surface.
		Prockter and Pappalardo first noticed the folds in high-resolution images of Europa's Astypalaea Linea fracture region, taken by the Galileo spacecraft.
		Near the large fracture zone they spotted fine-scale features that typically occur in fold structures (such as the Appalachian Mountains) on Earth: regional patterns of fractures and small ridges which mark adjacent crests and valleys.

	Europa Fault Gives California's San Andreas a Run for its Money (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-25)
		The Europan fault, known as Astypalaea Linea (pronounced ast-ipp-uh-LAY-uh LINN-ee-uh) was first discovered in 1996 when Dr. Randy Tufts, Galileo imaging team affiliate and research associate at the University of Arizona, Tucson, AZ, reviewed distant images taken years earlier by NASA's Voyager spacecraft.
		Bends in the fault have allowed the surface to be pulled apart as this movement took place along Astypalaea Linea, which is the largest known strike-slip fault on Europa and one of the largest strike-slip faults known to exist anywhere.
		Tufts believes Astypalaea Linea is probably no longer active, because large ridges formed more recently crosscut it without interruption.

		The fault on Europa, known as Astypalaea Linea, runs an astonishing 810 kilometres in length — about the same distance as San Andreas.
		Bends in the fault have allowed the surface to be pulled apart as this movement took place along Astypalaea Linea, considered to be one of the largest strike-slip faults known to exist anywhere.
		However, Tufts, for one, believes Astypalaea Linea is most likely no longer active.

	Researchers find clues to evolution of Jovian moon (GSJ of Sept. 8, 2000)
		The researchers say the mountain-like features - found in three regions - are the first indication of compression on the fractured Europan crust, and provide unprecedented insight into the history and behavior of the Jovian satellite.
		The Astypalaea Linea region of Europa's southern hemisphere, shown in this photo from NASA/JPL/Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory and Brown, is the smooth gray area that stretches from north to south across the image mosaic.
		The folds' direction and location along Astypalaea Linea coincide with models of tidal stress, the gravitational pull from Jupiter that scientists believe creates the pattern of canyon-like cracks on Europa's rotating surface.

		High energy marine sediments are described from Livadia and Stavros, Astypalaea Island, Greece, which are tentatively interpreted to be associated with the southern Aegean tsunami of 9th July AD 1956.
		At Livadia, the marine provenance of imbricated pebble deposits (referred to here as the Imbricated Clast Unit, or ICU) are inferred from two observations.

		Astypalaea, midway between Cos and Amorgos, was a port on the trade-route between Phoenicia, Cyprus, Rhodes, Cnidus, Cos, and European Greece on the west.
		Its name occurs in the Athenian quota-lists, B.C. 447-436, and in the latter year the annual sum at which it was assessed amounted to 12,000 drachms (about £480).
		On the later issues heads of Dionysos, Athena, and Asklepios supersede those of Perseus and Medusa, and it was in the temple of Athena and Asklepios at Astypalaea that a copy of the Senatus consultum was deposited which conferred upon the city the privileges of a Civitas foederata (I.

		These cracks and ridges in the south polar region of Jupiter's moon Europa have been rotated into sigmoidal or "S" shapes by the motion of Astypalaea Linea, a strike-slip fault in the moon's icy surface.
		These cracks and ridges are located within Cyclades Macula, a region of the fault which has been pulled apart and created openings through which warmer, softer ice from below Europa's brittle ice shell surface, or frozen water from a possible subsurface ocean, could reach the surface.
		Such rotated structure is typical of a process known as "simple shear," and characterizes many large strike-slip faults on Earth.

		A San Andreas-sized strike-slip fault near the south pole, Astypalaea Linea, exhibits a consistent 35km dextral offset over 810km of length (Tufts etal, 1996).
		Previously undetected dextral shear has recently been found adjacent to Astypalaea Linea, and a jagged crack seen near the north pole resembles early stages in the formation of a left-lateral fault, symmetrical with the southern hemisphere offsets.
		Block motions were in two separate directions and, as with Astypalaea Linea, occurred approximately midway in a relative succession of ridge and terrain formation.
