Sub-resolution surface geometry and soil strength of lunar maria are deduced using evidence from several disciplines; continuous and overlapping craterlets in sintered granular rock of strength proportional to depth are predicted for least formidable areas and demonstrated by table-top models of lunar surface and by statistical and thermomechanical studies; research areas indicated.
