The internal strain due to the tidal force in the proximity of a tide-generating body (in the present case, the Moon) is calculated according to the Lord Kelvin theory of Earth tides. The conditions for which uniform elastic sphere possessing a definite tensile strength is crushed near the surface of the Moon is investigated. The state of internal stress is almost independent of the value of elastic constants. Many lunar features, such as twin craters, craterous walled plains of irregular forms, compound craters, may be explained by fission of the meteoritic material before impact.
