Abstract
Undulating dunelike deposits of surface debris, widespread over parts of the lunar landscape, are similar in form but greater in size than base-surge deposits found in many maar volcanoes and tuff rings on Earth. The bed forms of base-surge deposits develop by the interaction of the bed materials with those in the current passing overhead. Therefore the "patterned ground" produced differs from that formed by ballistic fallout.Keywords
