contents Mars thermal history based on its tectonic and structural systems J. F. Valdés Galicia A. H. Barosio Ciencias de la Tierra Mars wrinkle ridges crustal dichotomy thermal evolution We suggest an interpretation of the thermal history of Mars base on crustal deformations. Local deformations are associatedwith an increase of the thermal gradient with time and indicate tensional stresses in eruptive centers such as Alba Patera, Ascraeus,Pavonis, Arsia and Elysium Mons. Regional deformations are associated to the crustal dichotomy and to the Tharsis bulge; theysuggest subcrustal erosion (dichotomy) and a thermal component of lithospheric support (bulge). Global deformation of wrinkleridges may be due to a planetary contraction in the early stages of Martian geologic evolution. 2002 artículo científico 0016-7169 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=56841210 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=568 Geofísica Internacional application/pdf Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México Geofísica Internacional (México) Num.2 Vol.41
