There are several ways that these 'ripples' may form:

Crushing of the surface from impact shock wave.

Fault lines.

Successive lava flows.

Folding of the crust layers with crust movement.

These are all the same forces that would see the same formations created here on Earth, with the exception of those formed by the effects of weather and water. Moon's been in drought for a while now.
