“Spiders” on the Moon: Morphological Evidence for Geologically Recent Regolith Drainage into Subsurface Voids
On the Moon, the surface morphology at the scale of meters and tens of meters is typically smooth and subdued due to regolith gardening. Sharp, “crisp,” meter-scale morphologic features are observed only where the regolith is either thin or recently disturbed. Such crisp morphologies are typically c...
