文摘

Mare basalt eruption process predictions are compared to observed features/deposits. Single dike event magma volume predicted to be 102–103 km3; dikes 40–100 m by 60–100 km. Shallower-source dikes continuous from source to surface; deeper dikes detach from source. Dikes reaching surface form wide range of predicted/observed effusive/explosive eruption types. Intrusion is favored in thicker farside crust; extrusion is favored on thin nearside crust.
