| 内容記述 | The use of a new Monte Carlo model to examine the development of the lunar megaregolith through impact cratering processes is discussed. The simulation incorporates some of the features and assumptions of the models of Short and Forman (1972), Gault et al. (1974), Quaide and Oberbeck (1968), Oberbeck et al. (1973, 1975), and Hoerz et al. (1976); and also greatly improves on some of these features. The problem of edge effects in computer modeling is resolved, and information on the geometry of craters and their ejecta blankets, as well as on crater production functions are included in the model. It is shown that this new model predicts greater megaregolith thicknesses than did the other models. The increase is due to the use of the observed lunar highlands crater size-frequency curve as the production function, to the retention of topographic information as cratering proceeds, and to the differences in the crater bowl and ejecta geometries. |
