Scientific paper

A mechanism is described how the lunar landscape could have originated by a chain reaction of volcanic eruptions. The mechanism consists of a sequence of three steps; surface solidification and fragmentation, gas formation and crack-wave interactions. A quantitative analysis is presented and it is shown that the volcanic chain reaction was most likely to occur around 10 million years after surface solidification.
