Selenographic Description of The Moon Rocks and Minerals – Lunarites and Lunabazites.

Authors: Imrich Krištof

The Apollo Lunar landings yielded an abundance of new scientific data on the Moon. The various experiments placed on the surface provided information on seismic, geophysics, resp. selenophysics, gravitational and other characteristics of lunar rocks and minerals. But perhaps the most dramatic result of the missions was returning a total of more than 800 pounds (381,7 kg) of a lunar rock and soil (regolith) for analysis on Earth. These samples of the evolution of Moon regolith offered a deeper appreciation of the genesis of our nearest planetary neighbor. Sometimes the experts say about Earth and Moon like about a TWINPLANET EARTH–MOON. The Lunar surface we can divided into two topological and selenographical units a) Moon’s Continents (Highlands) b) Moon's Mares, Sinuses, Oceans, Basins c) Craters (impact objects). The Moon continents are connected with Mountains like The highest point, located on the far side of the Moon, above 10 000 m is 8 700 m NORTH–EAST OF CRATER CURTIUS, approximately 6 500 meters higher than Mons Huygens (usually listed as the tallest Mountain). The surface Temperature reached +110 °C or -160 °C. Mons Agures, Mons Ampére, Mons Andre, Mons Blanc, Mons Hadley, Moon Mountains – Ranges: Montes Agricoly, Montes Alpes, Montes Apenninnes, Montes Carpatus, Montes Caucasus, Montes Cordillera, Montes Jura, Montes Pyrenaeus, Montes Rook, Geology (Selenology) of the Moon is very different of the Earth. Moon doesn’t have any atmosphere and doesn’t have the significant volumes of water, which is connected with no erosion by the weather, and doesn’t have plate tectonics.
