Moon's Geological Activity: New Evidence Suggests Surface Changes Persist
New research suggests the Moon may still be geologically active, as 266 newly discovered wrinkle ridges indicate recent surface changes. The study estimates these ridges formed within the last 160 million years, challenging the belief that lunar activity ended billions of years ago. Scientists believe continued contraction could cause moonquakes, p...

New Study Finds Active Lunar Tectonics, Challenges Moon’s Dormancy
A recent study published in The Planetary Science Journal reveals that the moon is still experiencing tectonic activity. Scientists identified 266 small ridges on the far side of the moon, formed within the last 160 to 200 million years. The study suggests these ridges result from geological forces like lunar shrinking and orbital shifts. The findi...
