Figure 3: Virtanen graben in the farside highlands (∼17.8 ° N, 180.8° E). The extensional stresses that formed the graben located in the back-limb areas of lobate scarps are probably due ...

This is because the plastic is constantly expanding or stretching in those processes. Two polymers may have identical shear flow behavior, but they could exhibit different extensional flow behavior ...

These appear in more detail in the south (left) of the camera images. Tectonic processes (extensional stresses, in this case) have led to the development of these grabens. After the tectonic ...
