Scientific paper

Little scaled studies on the entire planet Mars, and large scale studies of a local area (3600 km in diameter) seem to indicate geographic relations between martian fluidized craters and ridges: all the intensely ridged areas exhibit a lot of fluidized craters. Because the presence of fluidized craters indicates low viscosity states of the martian surface, this relation would indicate that the compressive stresses only induced ridges when they occurred at times and places of low viscosity states of the martian surface.
