Characterization of Thrust Faults on the Moon Using Fault Dynamics and 3D Visualizations
Many small, lobate scarps, interpreted to be the surface traces of thrust faults, have been found all over Earth's moon by previous researchers. Fault dynamical calculations, assuming an initially completely molten Moon, have shown that these scarps can form due to compressional stresses that a...
