“…Mare Tranquillitatis is a non-mascon basin of pre-Nectarian age (Wilhelms et al, 1987). The mare fills at least one multi-ring basin (De Hon, 1974;Spudis, 1993), but a second overlapping basin is possible (Bhatt et al, 2020;De Hon, 2017). The mare basalts of Mare Tranquillitatis are of Imbrian age of 3.39-4.23 Ga (Hiesinger et al, 2000(Hiesinger et al, , 2011.…”

“…Several large graben occur throughout the mare, but most of them occur in the western region of Mare Tranquillitatis. The large graben Rima Cauchy and a parallel normal fault called Rupes Cauchy occur in eastern Mare Tranquillitatis (Bhatt et al., 2020). Many smaller volcanic domes and cones are abundant in the eastern mare (Qiao et al., 2020; Spudis et al., 2013).…”

Timing and Origin of Compressional Tectonism in Mare Tranquillitatis

et al. 2023

The Moon's surface hosts a variety of extensional and compressional tectonic features, which recorded the history of the acting regional and global stress systems. Compressional tectonism was initiated with the emplacement of the mare basalts and the shift of net global extension to net global contract at ∼3.6 Ga, which led to the formation of the two major compressional tectonic landforms: lobate scarps and wrinkle ridges (

“…The changes in land use connected with population growth revealed the sensitivity of water in various catchments. A positive correlation between the population density and deterioration in water quality was found along the Bagmati river in Nepal [8]. Removal of natural vegetation and transformation of land use into urban areas, results in increasing of runoffs thus facilitates the transport of pollution from ground to watercourses [9].…”

The water quality of streams located in large urban agglomeration, case study of the SłuŻewiecki Stream

2018

The quality assessment of watercourse, located in a highly urbanized area was the goal of research. The Służewiecki Stream, which flows in the southern part of the capital city of Warsaw is the subject of study. The aim of the research was to determine the tendency of the water quality changes in the Służewiecki Stream, flowing in the highly urbanized area and being a sink of the non-point and industry sources of pollutions as well as the surface runoffs which comes from its catchment. The field research was conducted along the entire length of the stream in 2015 and 2016. The water samples were collected monthly from a depth to 20 cm. Water quality tests were carried out in accordance with the valid analytical methods. The obtained results point to poor water quality. Therefore it can be conducted that the development and use of the direct catchment is the one of main factors affecting the water quality in Służewiecki Stream. The tributaries, often not inventoried, from built-up, populated areas, are the most polluted. Tributaries contain large amount of organic compounds and nutrients.
