Experts continue to probe the Moon's shrinking effect on the stability of future lunar bases.

Planetary scientists have produced the first global map of small mare ridges on the Moon, adding new evidence that the lunar surface has been reshaped in geologically recent times by tectonic forces ...

Researchers have uncovered more than a thousand previously unknown tectonic ridges across the Moon’s dark plains, showing the ...

Scientists have mapped thousands of young tectonic ridges across the Moon, showing it is still slowly shrinking. These ridges may mark previously unknown sources of moonquakes.

Scientists have produced the first global map and analysis of small mare ridges (SMRs) on the moon, a characteristic geological feature of tectonic activity. Published in The Planetary Science Journal ...

"Our results represent the most globally complete understanding of recent lunar tectonism to date," Nypaver said. "The ...

Signs of volcanic activity on the Moon can be viewed simply by looking up at the night-time sky: The large, dark plains called “maria” are the product of massive outbursts of volcanic material. But ...

Did the Moon’s geological activity stop billions of years ago after it formed, or has it been active since then? This is what a recent study published in The Planetary Science Journal hopes to address ...

Researchers have studied structures in the lunar maria that indicate earthquakes. These could also affect manned missions.
