Lunar Geological Maps

Lunar geological maps are detailed diagrams that show the distribution and types of rocks, minerals, and surface features across the Moon's surface. They help scientists understand the Moon’s geological history and processes, such as volcanic activity and asteroid impacts. By analyzing these maps, researchers can identify different terrain types, locate areas of scientific interest, and plan future missions. These maps use color coding and symbols to represent various geological units and features, providing a comprehensive visual overview of the Moon’s surface composition and structure.
