Large tectonic landforms on the surface of Mercury, consistent with significant contraction of
the planet, were revealed by the flybys of Mariner 10 in the mid-1970s. The MErcury Surface …

Lobate scarps, landforms interpreted as the surface manifestation of thrust faults, are widely
distributed across Mercury and preserve a record of its history of crustal deformation. Their …

Impact bombardment and global contraction due to planetary cooling have both shaped the
surface of Mercury over very long time scales. Landforms associated with these processes …

Found on all terrestrial planets, wrinkle ridges are anticlines formed by thrust faulting and
folding resulting from crustal shortening. The MErcury Surface, Space Environment …

The Rembrandt basin is crosscut by the largest fault scarp on Mercury, Enterprise Rupes,
and a second scarp complex, Belgica Rupes, extends to the basin's rim. Topographic data …

Mercury is covered by a megaregolith layer, which constitutes a poor thermally conducting
layer that must have an influence on the thermal state and evolution of the planet, although …
