| 内容記述 | Extraordinary patterned fractures occur in Elysium, Utopia, and Acidalia Planitiae of Mars. Theories as to their origin range from permafrost patterning to tectonic fracturing. Recent studies indicate the patterned fractures may be a surface reflection of rough, buried terrane in which fracturing occurs as a result of differential compaction. The patterned terrane in the southern portion of the Acidalia region (MC4-SE, MC4-SC) is being studied to determine its age relative to other terranes and events, and to constrain models for the origin of the fractures. Fracturing in this area occurs between 5 and 25 degrees west longitude and 37 and 50 degrees north latitude. Many fracture patterns are roughly polygonal, with polygons ranging in size from approximately 11 to 32 km in diameter. Fracture traces range from the limit of resolution (10's of meters) to 35 km in length. |
