Impact craters, impact basins, volcanic and tectonic landforms such as lava flows, sinuous rilles, volcanic domes and cones, pyroclastic/dark mantle deposits, irregular mare patches, wrinkle ridges, lobate scarps, etc., constitute the general morphology of the lunar surface. Information about the morphology and topography has been understood from the high resolution images and stereo and altimetry measurements of the lunar surface obtained by recent orbiter missions such
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
