Description: Near-terminator photography from the Apollo 14 and 15 missions is used as a basis to evaluate the processes by which craters disappear from the lunar surface. From observations and analyses it is concluded that: (1) The erosion of lunar craters in the size range of 10 m to 1 km is effected principally by small impacts producing minute changes in crater form up to the point where the crater is worn to an interior slope of approximately 1 degree. Below that slope, the annihilation process is dominated by the formation of younger overlapping craters. (2) The distribution of shapes of craters in this size range can be explained as resulting from impact generated processes.
