Piecemeal Caldera Collapse as the Trigger of Chaotic Terrains and Floor-Fractured Craters on the Moon and Mars
Abstract
We propose the piecemeal caldera collapse as a new formation mechanism to explain the collapse and disruption of chaotic terrains and floor-fractured craters on Mars and the Moon. The results of our analog experiments fit very well with study cases.
