Guide to Magellan Image Interpretation

Figure 8-9. Ridge belts are characterized by sinuous ridges and arch-shaped topography. (a) Ridge belts centered at 60°N, 208.5°E in Atalanta Planitia show maximum compressive stress in an eastwest direction. Illumination is from the left at an incidence angle that varies from 27 to 29.5 deg.
