What sort of features would you look for on the outer planet moons to find evidence of such collisions? (As an extra bonus, can you find any images of such features on a moon like Callisto?

Indeed, in any one mare, we find a variety of rock ages, typically spanning about 100 million years. The individual lava flows as seen in Hadley Rille by the Apollo 15 astronauts were about 4mthick. Estimate the average time interval between the beginnings of successive lava flows if the total depth of the lava in the mare is 2 km.arrow_forward
