Abstract
Orbiter photographs of the wall of a large circular formation on the moon show that the wall is a convex body resembling a flow of viscous lava. The slopes are less than the angle of repose of dry rock; hence an explanation in terms of mass wastage is hard to support. The viscosity is approximately 1013 centimeter-gram- second units, indicating an acid lava.This publication has 8 references indexed in Scilit:
