| 1. | Tesserae exhibit the effects of eons of compression and tensional deformation.
|
| 2. | Horst and graben structures indicate tensional forces and crustal stretching.
|
| 3. | However, no unambiguous evidence for tensional faults occurs in the Bach quadrangle.
|
| 4. | Lava flooding and thermal or tensional stress fractures are two causes of graben formation.
|
| 5. | By convention the compressional quadrants are colour-filled and the tensional left white.
|
| 6. | Fault-block mountains often result from rifting, another indicator of tensional tectonic forces.
|
| 7. | A number of hotspot models have been suggested to explain tensional cracking origins, however.
|
| 8. | Tensional activity has been dominant along the down-dip edge along the 1942 rupture zone.
|
| 9. | Weakening and cracking of oceanic crust and upper mantle is likely to occur in the tensional regime.
|
| 10. | This is a misnomer as nothing is " pushing " horizontally and tensional features are dominant along ridges.
