Study on the volume of landslides in lunar impact craters

Abstract

The lunar exploration project is of great significance, among which the statistics and measurement of lunar landslide are an important part of lunar exploration. With the help of Google Earth software, lunar image data were obtained, and the volume calculation and analysis of landslides in 14 meteorite impact craters on the Moon were performed using the Alfred S. McEwen formula. It is found by calculation and observation that the diameter of the crater is proportional to the volume of the landslide in most of the meteorite impact craters on the moon.
