Volcanoes
on the Moon - John Seach
Lunar volcanoes
are mostly small domes with low relief. They are a few hundred metres high
and a few kilomoters across.
These small
sizes resulted from very fluid lava which travelled long distances and
didn't heap up at the eruption source.
The moon has
not been volcanically active for the last 3 billion years. Lunar volcanic
rocks differ from earth's because they are
totally devoid
of water.
