The relief of the moon

State of Emergency similarity ring Mountains of the Moon and terrestrial volcanoes can be seen in Fig. 122 and 123 and the second represents a fraction of the lunar surface, the first - the neighborhood of Naples, with Vesuvius and the Somme, with countless craters Flegreyskih fields, an astronomer, Monte Nuova Solfatara and lakes Avern-sky and Lukrinskim etc. This area is shown as it have had an observer on another planet if Earth was devoid of atmosphere. Another significant similarity between the annular lunar mountains with wide open craters on basaltic volcanoes. Hawaii in the Pacific. The value of lunar craters vary, from large rings with a diameter of 12 or more miles there are a number of transitions to the small volcanoes, barely visible at high magnification. Number of ring of mountains that are visible on the reverse side of the moon to us, in Schmidt, extends to 35,000, but the improvement of telescopes, I thought this great, now deceased expert on the Moon, their number will increase, at least, to 100,000. On some mountains, such as, from the mountains of Copernicus, Kepler, Tycho Brahe, radial divergent light stripes. This is not a hill and lowland. The origin of the bands due to the ability of some sort of lunar plateau strongly reflect the sun's rays. Formed such plateau simultaneously with the ring off. Series of hills, similar to our mountain ranges, observed on the moon in a smaller number, most significant of the mix is ??called the Apennines, and has some very high peaks. Observed on the Moon sulcus (Ril-len), in most cases straight, reach up to twenty-five miles in length and 100 - 400 meters deep and is likely to meet our cracks. Other features of our satellite, known as the Sea, broad round dark surface, surrounded by ramparts, and bright, radially arranged rays before peculiar that there is nothing similar to them do we find on Earth. Recently, L. Veynek produced a thorough study of photographic images taken by astronomers of the Lick Observatory, and he was able to notice such details, which have hitherto been unknown: among other things, he investigated the so-called "slot» (Rillen) and found a certain external resemblance to the river valleys. Should expect that further research will clarify many of the properties of the moon.
