Ridges in Tempe Fossae

Ridges in Tempe Fossae
The objective of this observation is to determine the nature of ridges in this region. Some form pairs and others are just a bit wide. Their formation may have something to do with fissure eruptions. Tempe Fossae is also known for features called “graben,”, which are depressions located between parallel faults.
