Abstract
So that variations in cratering parameters on the lunar surface can be determined, the front face of the Moon has been divided into a grid of equiareal blocks. Various crater parameters can be measured for each block, and variations of the parameter can be shown diagrammatically by assigning the values of the parameter to the co-ordinates of the centre of the blocks and then constructing contours over the lunar disk.
