Scientific paper

The sequence of extensional events that formed the grooved terrain surrounding the Galileo G1 target area in Uruk Sulcus on Ganymede is described. The sequence shows that groove orientation and the style of deformation have changed through time. The latter may indicate changes in the properties of the underlying lithosphere, the strain rate, or the total strain.
