New Morphometric Data of Lunar Sinuous Rilles

On the surface of the Moon a large number of linear features are recognizable. Long and narrow depressions are defined as lunar rilles. Their morphology has different characteristics, related to their origin. Among these, the sinuous rilles represent lineaments considered remnants of shallow lava channels. In this article, a quadrant of the Moon has been analyzed to recognize and map this type of morphology. An accurate morphometric analysis has...
