Popis: Interpretation They appear to be faulted smooth bands (Prockter and Patterson 2009). Subparallel ridges and troughs are similar in their characteristics to imbricate fault blocks. They have distinct troughs along their axis, inferred to be the spreading axis. Older faults translate further away from the actively spreading central axis over time. Tilted fault blocks in those bands with low spreading rate may create repeating valleys and ramparts (Kattenhorn and Hurford 2009).
