Young Craters Cut by Even Younger Scarps
Small, sharp lobate scarps (winding cliff-like features) are among the youngest lunar landforms. Scientists know this because small features on the Moon don't survive billions of years of steady bombardment by meteors. Also, these scarps cut through existing craters that are also very young. The scarps are so young they may even still be actively forming on the Moon today.Image ID: M103460280LR
