Scientific paper

The most geologically reasonable model for the origin of grooved terrain on Ganymede involves flooding of a planetary graben system by water or water-ice magmas that rose to the surface along normal faults in the rift zones. To investigate this process further, the thermal evolution of a water flow on Ganymede's surface was examined. The model is a variation of earlier work on ice-covered water flows. It is based on the simplifying assumptions that laminar flow and a concomitant solid ice cover are achieved relatively soon after eruption; and that the amount of energy lost to the substratum is negligible.
