The Yakima folds on the central Columbia Plateau are a succession of thrusted anticlines thought to be analogs of planetary wrinkle ridges. They provide a unique opportunity to understand wrinkle ridge structure. Field data and length-displacement scaling are used to demonstrate a method for estimating two-dimensional horizontal contractional strain at wrinkle ridges. Strain is given as a function of ridge length, and depends on other parameters that can be inferred from the Yakima folds and fault population displacement studies. Because ridge length can be readily obtained from orbital imagery, the method can be applied to any wrinkle ridge population, and helps constrain quantitative tectonic models on other planets.
