Mercury's Faults

NASA APOD
COSMIC MESSAGE

Santa Maria Rupes, a fault line on Mercury's surface, cuts across several craters. This meandering feature likely formed from immense compression forces on the planet. Scientists believe such rupes result from large impacts and the general shrinking of Mercury's crust, causing parts of it to push together.
