Recently completed high-resolution radar maps of the moon contain information on the decimeter-scale structure of the surface. When this information is combined with eclipse thermal-enhancement data and with high-resolution Lunar Orbiter photography, the surface morphology is revealed in some detail. A geological history for certain features and subareas can be developed, which provides one possible framework for the interpretation of the findings from the Apollo 15 landing. Frequency of decimeter-and meter-size blocks in and around lunar craters, given by the remote-sensed data, supports a multilayer structure in the Palus Putredinis mare region, as well as a great age for the bordering Apennine Mountains scarp.
最近完成的月球高分辨率雷达地图包含了月球表面分米级结构的信息。当这些信息与月食热增强数据以及高分辨率月球轨道飞行器拍摄的照片相结合时，月球表面形态便得以较为详细地展现出来。可以梳理出某些地貌特征和分区的地质历史，这为解释阿波罗15号着陆点的探测结果提供了一个可能的框架。遥感数据给出的月球环形山内外分米级和米级石块的出现频率，支持了雨海月海区存在多层结构的观点，同时也表明相邻的亚平宁山脉悬崖形成的年代极为久远。
