[NASA] Shrinking Moon May Be Generating Moonquakes
Solar System and Beyond /////////////////////////////////////////// Shrinking Moon May Be Generating Moonquakes Posted: 13 May 2019 08:00 AM PDT http://www.nasa.gov/press-release/go...019/moonquakes The Moon is shrinking as its interior cools, causing the brittle surface crust to break as the Moon shrinks, forming faults where one section of crust is pushed up over a neighboring part. A new analysis gives the first evidence that these faults are still active and likely producing moonquakes today.
