Fourier analysis was performed on brightness profiles across selected portions of three grooved terrain sites that were imaged at high resolution by Galileo. The profiles each reveal two or three dominant wavelengths that are interpreted as reflecting the regular spacing of structures produced by extensional faulting. Bright and dark lineaments of Ganymede's grooved terrain with measured wavelengths of about 0.7 to 3.4 km are interpreted to reflect brittle deformation of Ganymede's near-surface region. The presence of multiple dominant wavelengths suggests that faults of multiple scales have formed, perhaps through mixing of normal faulting styles, and/or by imbrication of major fault blocks into smaller-scale blocks.
