Noachian Tectonics of Syria Planum and the Thaumasia Plateau
Abstract
Gravity controlled movement of the Thaumasia plateau to the southeast began in the Noachian and tapered off in the Early Hesperian. This movement was facilitated by a ductile lower crustal layer which developed south of the dichotomy boundary.
