Martian Fracturing

Martian Fracturing is a geological process model that characterizes the formation and distribution of tectonic cracks and fissures on the surface of Mars, distinguished by its application to the planet’s unique lithospheric stresses, low gravity regime, and absence of active plate tectonics.
