Lunar Sinuous Rilles: Analysis of Morphology, Topography, and Mineralogy, and Implications for a Thermal Erosion Origin
Abstract
Characteristic measurements of lunar sinuous rilles are used to determine flow velocity, erosion regime, and vertical/lateral erosion rates that occurred during rille formation. These parameters provide key insights into the origin of sinuous rilles.
