Abstract
IN his comments on the morphological comparison between terrestrial and lunar surface features, Dr. McCall has made a number of interesting points. It should be noted, however, that Fielder and I only concluded that the lunar surface was tensionally stressed at the time when certain lunar craters were formed. These craters in question all appear to be ‘young’. Full details of our work have now been published1.
