Hi This is my Lab can you do it as soon as possible.It is about lunar geology system.
Record your name and today’s date:
1. Use Internet Explorer web browser
and Procedure
go to https://www.lroc.asu.edu/
Activity
Click on images, then click on Quickmap. Click on small globe icon at extreme upper left
corner to switch projections. Make sure “Orthographic Nearside” is selected otherwise
select it. For all of the following activity steps, navigate to the specified lunar latitude and
longitude coordinates and zoom to the indicated level in units of meters per pixel. Latitude
and longitude of mouse pointer is displayed at lower left of moon viewing area. Zoom
controls are the “+” and “-” icons at upper right. The feature or features under study are
the most centrally located or fill most of the screen at the indicated zoom level.
2) Identifying Features on the Moon: Using the above website and controls, find each feature below
located at the indicated latitude and longitude and at the indicated zoom level. Then use a separate
classroom lunar globe to again find each feature and identify the proper name of each feature. The type
of the geological feature is indicated as a Mare, Crater, Mountain Range or as an artificial feature. Zoom
out fully before moving to the next feature.

After locating and identifying all above features, go back to the coordinates of feature i) above. Then
click on small globe icon at extreme upper left corner (to switch projections). Select “Lunar Globe 3D”.
Find feature again and zoom to a level that the feature can be seen. Execute a fly around by selecting
“fly around selected point” icon at upper right and clicking on feature. Adjust zoom so that feature is
clearly visible as fly around is commencing. Your instructor will resume lecture to elaborate on the
historical details of feature i).
3) Identifying Craters with and without Central Peaks: Using the above website and controls, find each
crater below located at the indicated latitude and longitude and at the indicated zoom level. Indicate
which craters have central peaks and which do not by circling “Yes” or “No” as appropriate below. Then
identify the proper name of the crater by opening a new tab in your web browser and going to
http://www.oarval.org/MoonMapen.htm to consult a labeled map of the moon. If a proper name of the
crater cannot be found at that website, use another source. Zoom out fully before moving to the next
feature.

4) Identifying Relative Ages of Features using the Principle of Superpostion: Using the above website
and controls, navigate to each region below. Start at the first zoom level indicated, then slowly
increment to the second zoom level indicated. Over this range of zoom levels, you will see an
overlapping crater and rille. Using the Principle of Superposition, indicate which is younger, the crater or
the rille, by circling “Crater” or “Rille” as appropriate below. Zoom out fully before moving to the next
feature.

Using the above website and controls, navigate to each region below located at the indicated latitude
and longitude and at the indicated zoom level. You will see an overlapping small and large craters.
Using the Principle of Superposition, indicate which is younger, the small crater(s) or the large crater by
circling “small crater(s)” or “large crater” as appropriate below. Zoom out fully before moving to the
next feature.

8) Identifying Similar Geologic Features on other Solar System Bodies: The series of images that follow
show various solar system objects which have features that are similar to features on the Moon. Using
the name of each type of feature and an arrow drawn to each feature, identify an example of a Rille,
Ray, Crater, Central Peak, Highlands, Mare and Mountain Range if visible.
