Abstract Most recent tectonically notable lunar surface structures, straight or arcuate rilles and mare ridges are found to form regional lineament sets which are interpreted to be manifestations of crustal zones of weakness. The activity of the zones of weakness and their different parts range over a long period of time. Some parts of these zones may have undergone similar development to those of both experimental and natural strike-slip shears. It is hypothesized that the clearly discernable surface zone, which runs from the crater Lansberg to the crater Palmieri tangential to Mare Humorum, may coincide with a major moonquake belt described by Lammlein (1977).
