چکیده

country to the economic activity existing in developed countries. Incidentally, my planning office has just finished a feasibility study for an area in the Amazon Basin where 500 families may be settled in 14,400 hectares (1 hectare = 10,000 square meters), with a loan of $16,000 (United States dollars) per family extending over a 10-year period. After 10 years each family will have paid the loan, earned $44,000, and will continue to earn $10,000 per year. In consequence, one question remains open: Shall underdeveloped countries appeal to birth control, an issue greatly discussed in the United States (2). or shall they make every effort possible to increase the numerator of the income-per-head ratio, as they seek

The origin of lunar crater rays

Lunar rays are filamentous, high-albedo deposits occurring radial or subradial to impact craters. The nature and origin of lunar rays have long been the subjects of major controversies. We have determined the origin of selected lunar ray segments utilizing Earth-based spectral and radar data as well as FeO, TiO2, and optical maturity maps produced from Clementine UVVIS images. These include ray...

Detecting volcanic resurfacing of heavily cratered terrain: Flooding simulations on the Moon using Lunar Orbiter Laser Altimeter (LOLA) data

Early extrusive volcanism from mantle melting marks the transition from primary to secondary crust formation. Detection of secondary crust is often obscured by the high impact flux early in solar system history. To recognize the relationship between heavily cratered terrain and volcanic resurfacing, this study documents how volcanic resurfacing alters the impact cratering record and models the ...

Lunar Volcanism in Space and Time

Lunar volcanic deposits are dominated by areally extensive mare units occurring in regionally low areas predominantly on the lunar near side. Data obtained from lunar orbit and earth-based observations have been used to extend the detailed characterizations derived from Apollo and Luna sample return missions to other parts of the moon. Mare volcanism occurred over a period of about 1.3 billion ...

Geochemical and Geochronological Constraints on Early Lunar

Introduction: The aim of this abstract is to acquaint the reader with the major geochemical and geochronological properties of lunar rocks formed or affected by impact events, and thus how these rocks constrain lunar bombardment history, with particular emphasis on constraints upon the proposed Lunar Cataclysm or Late Heavy Bombardment [1]. To this end, the focus is on clast-poor impact melt ro...

Impact Melt Volumes in Simple Lunar Craters: Constraints on Modeling

Introduction: Impact melt is a typical product produced during the cratering process as a result of the intense heating of the target usually because of pressure decompression, but also possible because of shear heating (Figure 1). Melt is observed on all of the terrestrial planets in both simple and complex craters [16]. High-resolution data for the Moon now allows impact melt deposits to be c...
