Directions (30-37): Read the following passage carefully and answer the questions
C
given below it.
Scientists have long theorized the existence of lunar caves — underground
passageways formed through volcanic processes that are connected to the pits
covering the moon’s surface. Now, a team of international researchers has found
the first direct evidence that the moon’s deepest known pit connects to a cave
that could provide shelter to astronauts. Identifying areas on the moon that can
shield humans and robotic explorers from the harsh lunar environment — including
powerful radiation and extreme temperatures — could be crucial for future space
exploration as countries such as the United States and China race to establish a
long-term human presence on Earth’s closest natural satellite.
To find the cave, the team studied archival radar measurements of a pit
found within a vast plain called Mare Tranquillitatis, or the Sea of Tranquility,
which was the landing site for the Apollo 11 mission in 1969. The NASA Lunar
Reconnaissance Orbiter collected the radar data in 2010 by using wavelengths to
detect what was below the surface. Analyzing the data, the researchers found
empty space at an underground depth of 130 to 170 meters (426 to 558 feet). The

4
Sreedhar’s CCE IBPS SO XIV - PRELIMS MT - 67

newly revealed cave, measuring at least 45 meters (nearly 148 feet) wide and
between 30 and 80 meters (98 and 262 feet) long, could be just the initial part of
a longer tube cavity formed by lava — and there are likely more caves yet to be
found.
Lunar caves have remained a mystery for a long time. Scientists hypothesized
their existence since more than 50 years. So it was surprising to be able to finally
prove the existence of a subsurface conduit,” said study co-author Leonardo Carrer.
Future research and exploration of lunar caves could also provide new insight
into the evolution of the moon and lunar volcanism, the authors note in the
study. “The caves are a unique environment that preserves the history of the

r’s
Moon,” said study coauthor Lorenzo Bruzzone, a telecommunications professor
and the director of the Remote Sensing Laboratory at the University of Trento, via
email. “The analysis of rocks inside these caves could enable new (discoveries)
related to the lunar evolution/A/ … such as the timeline and duration /B/of
lunar volcanic activity as well as /C/the actual composition of the lunar
mantle./D/ “Moreover, (lunar caves) can be an alternative or an integration to a
