Fig. 5: Conceptual models of TAR development.
From: Networked configurations as an emergent property of transverse aeolian ridges on Mars
a Profile view of TARs transitioning from 3D flow to 2D flow. See text for a detailed description. b Conceptual model of TAR development on Mars (red line) compared with Earth (blue line). The dashed green arrow marks the point where megaripples on Earth are flattened as they increase in height33,58,59. The inset illustrates morphological evolution. c All possible convex tiling combinations (surrounded in blue). Natural phenomena in red: (A) basalt fracturing, (B) permafrost, (C) mud cracks, and (D) surface fractures in granite. After Domokos et al. (2020).
