The ridge system of the Tharsis Plateau is a dominant structural form equaled only by the radial fracture system. The structural interpretation of the ridges are: (1) folds formed by regional or local compressional stress; (2) the surface manifestation of reverse or thrust faults; or (3) folds with thrust faulting developing as a result of fold geometry. It has been suggested that the compressional events that generated the ridges occurred after the emplacement of the ridged plains volcanic units, but before the episode of faulting that generated the majority of the observed ridge-fault crosscutting relationships on the ridged plains and that it did not continue beyond the emplacement of the Syria Planum Formation or the basal units of the Tharsis Montes Formation. Models for the origin of the regional stresses involving a combination of isostatic uplift and flexural loading were proposed.
