This research studied the diversity in the geological evolution of three impact basins: the Dirichlet\u2013Jackson Basin, the Nectaris Basin, and the Orientale Basin. First, the regional topography and geomorphology of the three basins were studied using the SLDEM2015 digital elevation model (DEM). Clementine ultraviolet\u2013visible (UVVIS) data and Moon Mineralogy Mapper (M3) data were used to study the chemical composition and mineralogical composition of the three basins. Additionally, the lunar crust thickness data have been used to study the subsurface structure of the three basins. The topographical analogies of the three basins indicate that the shapes of the basins are cavity-like. However, the shape of the Dirichlet\u2013Jackson basin is not an obvious cavity compared with the other basins. The positions with minimum and maximum crustal thickness of the three basins are located at the center and the rim. The uplift of the crust-mantle interface of the Nectaris Basin and Orientale Basin is relatively larger than in the Dirichlet\u2013Jackson Basin. Below the center of the maria of the Nectaris Basin and Orientale Basin, collapses occurred at the crust\u2013mantle interface. The concentrations of FeO and TiO2 in the non-mare formation of the basin and maria show expected bimodal distributions. Moreover, we found exposures of olivine-rich materials in the Nectaris Basin and Orientale Basin which are located in the Rosse and Maunder craters, respectively. These exposures of olivine may be explained by the fact that the formation of the large impact basin, which might penetrate and blast away the upper lunar crust, excavating deep-seated material.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/rs14246335","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,12,15]],"date-time":"2022-12-15T03:01:51Z","timestamp":1671073311000},"page":"6335","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Diverse Geological Evolution of Impact Basins on the Moon"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"14","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-4024-4953","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jiayin","family":"Deng","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"State Key Laboratory of Resources and Environmental Information System, Institute of Geographic Sciences and Natural Resources Research, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing 100101, China"},{"name":"University of Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing 100049, China"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-1580-4979","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Weiming","family":"Cheng","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"State Key Laboratory of Resources and Environmental Information System, Institute of Geographic Sciences and Natural Resources Research, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing 100101, China"},{"name":"University of Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing 100049, China"},{"name":"Jiangsu Centre for Collaborative Innovation in Geographical Information Resource Development and Application, Nanjing 210023, China"},{"name":"Chinese Academy of Sciences, Center for Excellence in Comparative Planetology, Hefei 230052, China"}]},{"given":"Yimeng","family":"Jiao","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"State Key Laboratory of Resources and Environmental Information System, Institute of Geographic Sciences and Natural Resources Research, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing 100101, China"},{"name":"University of Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing 100049, China"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,12,14]]},"reference":[{"doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Wilhelms, D.E., McCauley, J.F., and Trask, N.J.
