    Characteristics of small young lunar impact craters focusing on …

    • Analysing the size-frequency distribution of very small lunar craters (sized below 100 m including ones below 10 m) using LROC images, spatial density and related age estimations were calculated for mar… See more

    1. Introduction

    The lunar surface provides an ideal, large area to record and analyse cratering rate at the near Earth region because of the lack of atmosphere, substantial weathering and also large s… See more

    Why are there no craters on the Moon?
    Because of tectonics, the surface of Earth is recycled many times throughout its long history. As a result, very few rocks on Earth are as old as the rocks on the Moon. The Moon has not had tectonics for billions of years. That’s a lot more time for craters to form and stay put. The third thing is volcanism.
