Fault lines starting to release material?

    There are a number of images like this (probably from the same area) in my Possible 'Fault Lines' collection. Other images like this show how the 'fault lines' create slabs, like crazy paving, in the landscape. They are fascinating indeed.

    Many of these type of 'fault lines' (in other areas) are curved. Some of these may well be associated with the ridges of 'ghost' craters - old craters that over time have been filled with material - and I'm collecting these also.

    I don't think they are fault lines associated with tectonic movement, like on Earth, but I do believe they are definate features of some importance. Good Hunting.

    thanks, I'll try and remember to use #Faultline
    I agree about tectonics, our moon probably helps us there, but hadn't considered old craters.
    I want to mark every thing as interesting but I'm trying to be selective.
