Positions of epicenters of high-frequency teleseismic shallow moonquakes are compared with sites of lunar transient phenomena (LTP), and close pairing of the sites in the two classes is observed. It is suggested that upward channels caused by stoping, which are known to exist on earth, may also exist on the moon and that at least some of the associated craters may have been produced by fluidization/erosion, which may be the chief mechanism for the formation of chimneylike volcanic pipes on earth. Examples of such pipes are described, and it is noted that ejection from within the moon could provide a reasonable explanation for the presence of large numbers of rounded rocks at several LTP sites. Some previous experiments are discussed which have shown that craters similar to many types on the moon can be produced on a small scale in the laboratory by passing gas through a fine gravel or soil at various speeds.
