The bottom of the crater, a fault on the crater bottom and the hilly broken continental terrain to the south crater floor in the southern part of the Lemonier crater, were investigated. It is shown that the physical and mechanical properties of the lunar regolith varied with slope steepness, duration of exposure and local pecularities of relief. Photographs taken by Lunokhod-2 and lunar orbiter 4 are presented. Although there is significant variation in load bearing capacity of the lunar soil, as the steepness of the surface increases on the surface are exposed, the stronger the deposits become, all other factors are equal. It is concluded the slope process of temperature creep is very important in the formation of the pecularities of the regolith and evolution of relief.
