The application of geologic concepts such as uniformitarianism and erosion cycles to lunar problems is illustrated by comparing terrestrial features and experiments with lunar features. Such comparisons include boulder tracks, blocky craters, volcanoes, and an experimental simulation of meteor bombardment. Lunar rock-stratigraphic units, lateral continuity, and superposition are illustrated using the crater Aristarchus. Reflection-emission data collected from the earth prior to unmanned and manned lunar exploration were remarkably good and captured the essence of the lunar surface at the fine scale. These data showed that the roughness of the lunar surface increased at the finer scale and that the lunar surface materials were porous and probably fragmental. Unmanned explorations significantly refined our knowledge of the lunar surface and its materials. In particular, unmanned soft-landing spacecraft obtained information on lunar topography and the physical properties and the chemical composition of the near-surface materials.
