The central part of the area is occupied by Leda Planitia. Its formation may be explained as the result of plume ascent from planetary interiors and its lateral spreading. Systems of areal dislocations of several directions ("parquet") around Leda Planitia seem to be originated from the material moved downslope as viscous flows (Laima and Dekla Tesserae, Tellus Regio). Belts of ridges and furrows (Kamari Dorsa and others) were formed along the edges of the "parquet" areas above the astenospheric currents moving downwards.
