Scientists have recognized three classes of geological feature on Titania: craters, chasmata (canyons) and rupes (scarps).

Hero Rupes is an escarpment on Mercury more than 300 kilometers long located in the southern hemisphere of Mercury.

A few sinuous scarps also occur in this quadrangle, including the Heemskerck Rupes which cuts the older intercrater plains.

Rupes Altai is an escarpment in the lunar surface that is located in the southeastern quadrant of the Moon's near side.
