Low, winding ridges run across the Moon’s dark plains like faint seams in cooled wax. They are easy to miss in a wide photo.
"Our results represent the most globally complete understanding of recent lunar tectonism to date," Nypaver said. "The presence of these additional tectonic features in the lunar maria suggests that ...
Researchers have uncovered more than a thousand previously unknown tectonic ridges across the Moon’s dark plains, showing the ...
Scientists have produced the first global map and analysis of small mare ridges (SMRs) on the moon, a characteristic geological feature of tectonic activity. Published in The Planetary Science Journal ...
The Moon, long treated as a geologically inert relic, is still contracting and cracking. A growing body of peer-reviewed research now confirms that tectonic faulting on the lunar surface has occurred ...
New research reveals the source of this carbon – and the driving forces behind it – are far more complex than previously ...
A study published in the Journal of African Earth Sciences sheds new light on the magnetic structure of the Afar region's crust and the process of the African continent's division.
