The saturnian satellites were imaged by the Voyager spacecraft at sufficient resolutions to reveal landforms that indicate histories of extensional tectonics for several of these bodies. The relationships among landforms on various satellites imply that extensional tectonism is a consequence of several different energy sources. Case histories of several satellites are discussed to illustrate the interaction of various phenomena associated with extensional tectonism.
