Cette carte conceptuelle, cree avec IHMC CmapTools, contient des informations liees a : Tectonism, Tectonism on Mars is unlike Plate Tectonism on Earth, Tectonism on Mars important following Period of Early Bombardment, Deformation creates Wrinkle Ridges, Faults result from Extension of lithosphere, Compression of lithosphere caused by Cooling and Contraction, Lithosphere is Crust and uppermost (solid) part of Mantle, Deformation of the Lithosphere, Tectonism on Mars is primarily associated with formation of Tharsis Rise, Rifts are Faults, Deformation creates Rifts, Extension of lithosphere caused by Heating and expansion, Giant Canyon System: Valles Marineris is Very Deep and Wide, Tharsis Rise is Dome of continental scale, 8 to 10 km above datum, East- northeast trend of canyons is radial to Tharsis Rise, Wrinkle Ridges result from Compression of lithosphere, Crust and uppermost (solid) part of Mantle estimated to be Many tens of kilometers thick, Rifts probably led to Release of Water from Subsurface, Giant Canyon System: Valles Marineris has East- northeast trend of canyons, Tharsis Rise is Intensely fractured by long, narrow faults, Tharsis Rise may have controlled early stages of Giant Canyon System: Valles Marineris
