Alba Mons Tectonics
Today's VIS image is located on the eastern flank of Alba Mons. The entire region containing Alba Mons and Tempe Terra (east of this image) is cut by north and northeast trending linear fractures. The majority of the linear fractures are graben, paired fractures with a down dropped block of material between the fractures. This tectonic feature occurs in regions of extensional stresses.
