Grooves and furrows have been interpreted as grabens resulting from extension of Ganymede's lithosphere. Geologically reasonable estimates of the dip (90° - 60°) and displacement (less than 1 km to a few hundred meters) of faults bounding grooves on Ganymede allow calculation of the extension and surface area increase (0.04 - 2%) required for the formation of all grooved terrain.
