- •
Geomorphologic and structural map of Titan’s mountain ridges.
- •
The orientation of ridges is nearly E–W in both equatorial and polar regions.
- •
Ridges are more abundant in equatorial regions.
- •
Equatorial ridges on Titan preferentially lie at higher-than-average elevation.
- •
Contractional tectonism likely built the ridges on Titan.
