They analyse a very large number of model cross-sections, checking the obtained examples of lava tubes and, using the available information, match the results to the parameters of lava tubes observed on the Moon. In this way, they can determine the size of the caves responsible for a given collapse at a given rock ceiling thickness.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Read more: <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/pwr.edu.pl\/uczelnia\/aktualnosci\/ksiezyc-pelen-jaskin-czy-mozna-je-wykorzystac-13173.html\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">https:\/\/pwr.edu.pl\/uczelnia\/aktualnosci\/ksiezyc-pelen-jaskin-czy-mozna-je-wykorzystac-13173.html<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>An international team of scientists is investigating lava caves on the Moon, which could be a good place to conduct research in the future, but also serve as shelters.
