The viscosity of Miranda.
Abstract
Voyager 2 images of Miranda revealed a significant history of geological activity. Overlying an apparently ancient cratered terrain are assemblages of concentric ridges, scarps, and dark banded material. The problems that evolutionary thermal and structural modes of Miranda must face, to provide a convincing explanation for such topographic complexity, are examined.
