'Moon Cracks Open from Pull of Earth's Gravity
High resolution images from NASA's Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO) revealed 14 lobe-shaped fault cliffs. Such cliffs or scarps are normally formed when the heated interior of the moon cools and contracts allowing the solid crust of the moon to 'fold'. These tectonic features of the moon are typically dozens of yards or meters in height and less than 10 kilometres in length. Yahoo News reports that with the LRO images, scientists may have identified that the pull of the Earth's gravity is possibly opening up faults in the moon's crust.
