1 Wrinkle ridge formation in ridged plains in the study area occurred after plains emplacement and prior to formation of Reull Vallis (Early to mid-Hesperian Period) because (1) a channel associated with Reull Vallis bisects several ridges and (2) ridges are truncated by the source depression of Reull Vallis.

Dorsum - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Dorsum (pl. dorsa) is a Latin word used by planetary geologists to refer to ridges on the surfaces of planets and moons. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Dorsa

Wrinkle-ridge - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The latin word dorsa is used when designating a wrinkle-ridge, and dorsum for naming a network of ridges. The wrinkle-ridges are tectonic features created when the basaltic - lava first cooled and contracted. The standard IAU nomenclature uses the names of people to identify wrinkle-ridges. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Wrinkle-ridge

Visit the Moon--Without Leaving Idaho - Resources Wrinkle ridges or flow fronts are seen between and along the three dark, ragged-edged areas. Wrinkle ridges from basalt load emplacement are found in a curved pattern from right to left, just below the center of the photo. Wrinkle ridges and grabens are numerous in the top half of the photo. www.nps.gov /crmo/visit/visitres.html

The Moon Wrinkle Ridge are formed by surficial compression as regions, such as centers of multiring basins. Some features such as mare wrinkle ridges, can look very dramatic when viewed at the terminator but actually represent relatively minor relief. Wrinkle ridges on the western margin of Mare Serenitatis can be seen in this image. www.unm.edu /~abqtom/observing_the_moon.htm

Clues to the lithospheric structure of Mars from wrinkle ridge sets and localization instability Wrinkle ridges are a manifestation of horizontal shortening in planetary lithospheres, for which deformation is localized on faults that underlie individual ridges. In ridged plains of Mars, such as Solis Planum or Lunae Planum, wrinkle ridges are spaced ∼40 km apart, whereas in the Martian northern lowlands, where ridges are identified only in Mars Observed Laser Altimeter (MOLA) altimetric data, the ridge spacing is at least ∼80 km. In addition, finite element models that use the lithospheric structure deduced from ridge spacing show that modest gradients of crustal thickness or heat flux across a ridged plains favor the formation of faults dipping toward high-elevation areas, as may be the case in Solis Planum [ www.agu.org /pubs/crossref/2003/2002JE001974.shtml

Archimedes crater A wrinkle ridge leads away from Archimedes toward the north-northwest, crossing this maria. The diameter of Archimedes is the largest of any crater on the Mare Imbrium. pedia.newsfilter.co.uk /wikipedia/a/ar/archimedes_crater.html

Site 023 E 16 Ridged plains/c1 contact from station 5 to E. 6 23 Wrinkle ridge in ridged plains unit; TV observation of Ridged plains lava flows of Hesperian age are considered to be the most important rock units for determining the absolute age of the bend in the martian cratering rate curve where the rapidly decaying early flux changes to a nearly constant rate (Neukum, 1987). The ridged plains are overlain to the north by very young (Amazonian) rocks postulated to be ash-flow tuffs (Scott and Tanaka, 1982, 1986) or paleopolar deposits (Schultz and Lutz, 1988). cmex-www.arc.nasa.gov /MarsTools/Mars_Cat/Part_3/Sites/site023.html

ch4.1 Wrinkle ridges occur in all mare regions and form circumferential or medially transecting patterns. The large mare ridge or wrinkle ridge deforms both light and dark mare units but is much more prominent in the lighter unit. Many radial ridges of ejecta and radial grooves or chains of secondary craters radiating outward from Lambert are faintly visible beneath the younger flow near its western boundary. history.nasa.gov /SP-362/ch4.1.htm

Terrestrial Analogs to Mars: (Part 1) Planetary Decadal Study Community White Paper Solar System Exploration Survey, 2003-2013 SpaceRef - Your Space Reference Wrinkle ridges are seen not only on the lunar mare but also on the venusian plains and the martian ridged plains. The area was folded and faulted under north-south directed compression, perhaps associated with the formation of the Cascade volcanic range to the west and the Rocky Mountains to the east, or with the Yellowstone hotspot in a manner possibly analogous to wrinkle ridge formation associated with Tharsis on Mars (Mege and Ernst, 2001). An excellent terrestrial example of a wrinkle ridge is the Yakima Fold Belt, found in the Columbia River Plateau of central Washington. www.spaceref.com /news/viewsr.html?pid=4290

Apollo 17 EVA 2 Wrinkle ridges are common in the lunar maria, but this is the only such ridge studied at close range during the Apollo program. This station is along the Lincoln-Lee Scarp, which is an example of a mare wrinkle ridge. Although time was limited, the crew took a traverse gravimeter measurement, gathered samples including a double-length core tube sample and a rake sample, and performed panoramic and 500-millimeter photography. www.lpi.usra.edu /expmoon/Apollo17/A17_Surface_EVA2.html

LPOD - 2004-11-17 - Lunar Photo of the Day Paralleling the eastern shore of Mare Serenitatis is the snakelike Serpentine Ridge. From LTO 42B3 (1.6mb) we can see that the broad part of the ridge rises as much as 200 m over a horizontal distance of 4-5 km, but the steep part of the ridge rises 200 m higher in a distance of a little less than a kilometer. Mare ridges generally have a a wide swelling with one edge being steeper-sided and higher. www.lpod.org /LPOD-2004-11-17.htm

Surface of Mercury Wrinkle ridges or "rupes", a few km across and hundreds of km long, are also common on the surface. Major surface features surface features include ridges, plains, and numerous large craters, the largest (about 800 mi or 1300 km across) named the Caloris Basin. These features, which can reach several km in height, were probably created as the interior of the planet cooled and shrunk, causing the surface to collapse in and form ridges. www.windows.ucar.edu /tour/link=/mercury/Interior_Surface/Surface/surface_overview.html

Wrinkle Ridge Formation North of Orcus Patera, Mars Variations in fault dip and interactions between wrinkle ridges and knobby material, at the surface and at depth, are both issues on which future studies may provide further insight. Wrinkle ridges are linear or sub-linear positive landforms above compressional structures (Golombek et al., 1991; Schultz, 2000). Wrinkle ridges and fissures indicate that this region has been subjected to at least two similar but distinctive stress fields through its history. dtam.gsfc.nasa.gov /keck/group4.html

Venus stress The global coverage anticipated by this analysis will supplement global wrinkle ridge studies of Venus' crustal stress [1] and extend and link various regional deformation studies. Each vector points perpendicular to the "ridges" of parallel lineations and the vector magnitude is related to the frequency power (not to the wavelength) of the fracture pattern. Its 100-150km wide, radar bright ridge belts have been detected as well as smaller belts of associated fractures. www-geodyn.mit.edu /tracadas/papers/lpsc29/abstract.html

Wrinkle Ridges Wrinkle ridges on the surface of Mercury are thought to have been caused by the shrinking of the surface following the cooling and shrinking of the core of the planet. As the core cooled and shrank, the surface was forced to shrink also, developing ridges which are scatterred across the planet. www.windows.ucar.edu /tour/link=/tour/link=/mercury/Interior_Surface/Surface/wrinkle_ridges.html&link=/tour/link=/mercury/Interior_Surface/Surface/wrinkle_ridges.html&text=t

Moon Struck-Astronomy for Homeschool and Beginners Wrinkle ridges extend for hundreds of kilometers but are no more than a few hundred meters high, so they can be seen only under low angles of illumination. The demolished wall of the crater Sinus Iridum is a type of feature known as a wrinkle ridge. Many other such ridges can be found on the various maria, notable the Serpentine Ridge on Mare Serenitatis. www.geocities.com /Heartland/Fields/8616/moonfacts.html

Hitchhiker's Guide to Rukl Chart 24 Logically, it would somehow be the main rima crossed by the wrinkle ridge, but it was close enough to the terminator that I would expect the ridge to show as they normally do, and the rille would be more dark than light. Near the Serpentine Ridge, Dorsa Aldrovandi sources from a small mountain that, under the proper lighting conditions, looks like a mouse, with the wrinkle ridge its long tail extending out across Mare Serenitatis. I have a foldout Moon map (it's a "Hallwag") and the N end of the ridge appears on the map to have a bit of space separating it from the W wall of Posidonius. www.shallowsky.com /moon/rukl24.html

Visit the Moon--Without Leaving Idaho - Glossary Long, low, prominent ridges, perhaps offset by faults, which are seen on all the lunar maria. These adjacent plates pull apart at places like the Mid-Atlantic Ridge, where the North and South American Plates are separated from the Eurasian and African Plates. It is not uncommon to see a series of these ridges together. www.nps.gov /crmo/visit/visitglo.html

Chris H. Okubo/Planetary Tectonics I have also used forward numerical models to show that the tendency for the nucleation of secondary backthrust faults within wrinkle ridges is greatly enhanced by mechanical stratification near the upper tip of the primary thrust. Therefore the distribution of wrinkle ridges that contain secondary backthrust faults provides insight into the distribution mechanically well—stratified crust on Mars. Distribution of thrust faults in the western equatorial region of Mars based on analysis of MOLA-based wrinkle ridge topography. equinox.unr.edu /homepage/chriso/planetarytectonics.html

INMATE LAWSUIT GETS NEW WRINKLE Wallens Ridge, which is no longer classified as a supermax prison, has been the subject of numerous excessive-force complaints. Frazier, a convicted rapist who suffered from diabetes and other health problems, was taken to the Wallens Ridge infirmary the morning of June 29, 2000, apparently suffering from hypoglycemia. When it was filed last year, the lawsuit claimed that Frazier's death was the result of excessive force by stun gun-wielding guards and inadequate medical care by Correctional Medical Services, a private company that provided health care to inmates at the supermax prison. www.supermaxed.com /WRhad-Defib.htm
