Lohrmann (crater)

Lohrmann (crater) is a earth science topic covered in the lgStudy science library. This page brings together a partial reference excerpt, illustrations, worked examples, real-world applications and a short study plan, so you can understand Lohrmann (crater) rather than just read about it. In short: Lohrmann is a small lunar impact crater that is located to the west of the Oceanus Procellarum, near the western limb of the Moon. It lies to the north of the dark-floored walled plain named Grimaldi, and just to the south of the crater Hevelius.

Key takeaways

  • Lohrmann (crater) belongs to earth science; place it in that map before memorising details.
  • Learn the definition first, then one example that makes the definition concrete.
  • Connect Lohrmann (crater) to a quantity you can measure, compute or draw — that is where exam questions come from.
  • Reproduce the core statement of Lohrmann (crater) from memory before moving on to harder problems.

Reference excerpt

Lohrmann is a small lunar impact crater that is located to the west of the Oceanus Procellarum, near the western limb of the Moon. It lies to the north of the dark-floored walled plain named Grimaldi, and just to the south of the crater Hevelius. This crater is nearly circular, although it does not appear so from the Earth due to foreshortening. It has a narrow inner wall at the north end and a somewhat eroded edge. The interior floor has some low hills and a small craterlet in the western half. The remainder of the floor is relatively featureless except for some tiny craters. The infrared spectrum of pure crystalline plagioclase has been identified on the central floor.

Satellite craters By convention these features are identified on lunar maps by placing the letter on the side of the crater midpoint that is closest to Lohrmann.

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with Lohrmann (crater)

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what Lohrmann (crater) claims or describes in one sentence, then invent the smallest concrete situation in which that sentence is true. In earth science, the smallest case is usually a single object, a single equation or a single measurement. Check that every symbol or term in your sentence has a meaning in that case.

Example 2 — changing one variable

Take the situation from Example 1 and change exactly one quantity: double it, halve it, or set it to zero. Predict what should happen to Lohrmann (crater) before you calculate. Comparing your prediction with the result is the fastest way to find out whether you understand the idea or only the words.

Example 3 — an exam-style question

Typical questions about Lohrmann (crater) ask you to (a) state it precisely, (b) apply it to given data, and (c) explain a limitation. Practise writing all three answers in under five minutes; the third part is what separates a full-mark answer from an average one.

Applications of Lohrmann (crater)

In research
Lohrmann (crater) appears in earth science research whenever the underlying quantities have to be modelled precisely. Papers usually cite it as a starting assumption and then explore where it breaks down.
In technology and industry
Engineering practice reuses Lohrmann (crater) in design rules, simulations and safety margins. Knowing the idea lets you read a specification sheet and understand why the numbers look the way they do.
In the classroom
Lohrmann (crater) is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics Geology of the Moon, Impact craters on the Moon, LQ18 quadrangle, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life
Look for Lohrmann (crater) outside the textbook — in sport, cooking, traffic, electronics or the sky above you. An example you found yourself is remembered far longer than one you were given.
