HiPOD: A Crater Intersecting a Ridge

This wrinkle ridge east of Elysium Mons is a tectonic feature likely created by a thrust fault. A small crater intersects the ridge. If the crater formed before the ridge, measurements of the crater’ shape deformation can help estimate the amount of surface displacement of the fault.
