  Informat.io on Rhea Moon   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
Rhea (ree'-a, IPA /ˈriːə/, Greek Ῥέᾱ) is the second largest moon of Saturn and was discovered in 1672 by Giovanni Domenico Cassini.
Rhea is named after the titan Rhea of Greek mythology.
The temperature on Rhea is 99 K (−174°C) in direct sunlight and between 73 K (−200°C) and 53 K (−220°C) in the shade.

Two enormous concentric ring impact basins are found on Callisto; Valhalla is the largest with a bright central region that is 600 kilometers in diameter and rings extending to 3000 kilometers in diameter, and the second-largest impact basin is Asgard measuring about 1600 kilometers in diameter.
Another interesting feature is Gipul Catena, a long series of impact craters lined up in a straight line across Callisto's surface.

 Britain.tv Wikipedia - Titan (moon)
Though similar in composition to Rhea and the rest of Saturn's moons, it is denser due to gravitational compression.
However, while many of the surface features could be explained as the products of flowing liquids, and while features that look like lakes have been discovered at the poles, conclusive evidence for the presence of liquids on Titan's surface at the present time remains absent.

Major features of the Solar System (not to scale): The Sun, the eight planets, the asteroid belt containing the dwarf planet Ceres, outermost there is the dwarf planet Pluto (the dwarf planet Eris not shown), and a comet.
The largest, Triton, is geologically active, with geysers of liquid nitrogen, and is the only large satellite to revolve around its host planet in a prograde (clockwise) motion.
The conceptual advances of the 17th century, led by Nicolaus Copernicus, Galileo Galilei, Johannes Kepler, and Isaac Newton, led gradually to the acceptance of the idea not only that Earth moved round the Sun, but that the planets were governed by the same laws that governed the Earth, and therefore could be similar to it.

 ScienceDaily: Impact crater   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
A number of researchers, most notably Eugene M. Shoemaker, conducted detailed studies of the craters that provided clear evidence that they had been created by impacts, identifying the shock-metamorphic effects uniquely associated with impacts, of which the most familiar is Shocked quartz.
Some volcanic features can resemble impact craters, and brecciated rocks are associated with other geological formations besides impact craters.
Note: it is reported in the scientific literature that some "shock" features, such as small shatter cones, which are often reported as being associated only with impact events, have been found in terrestrial volcanic ejecta.

Mimas' most distinctive feature is a colossal impact crater 130 km across, named Herschel after the moon's discoverer.
Scientists officially recognise two types of geological features on Mimas: craters and chasmata (chasms).
Other resonances with Mimas are also responsible for other features in Saturn's rings: the boundary between the C and B ring is at the 1:3 resonance and the outer edge of the A ring is at the 2:3 resonance.

The first true lunar geologic map was that of Michael van Langren (1598–1675), which he completed in 1645.
During the period 1880 to 1925, several telescopic maps of topographic and geological features of Mercury and Mars were produced.
From these photographs, the first detailed geological maps of the Moon were made, thus establishing a new area of planetary photo-geologic mapping.

Dione is composed primarily of water ice, but as the third densest of Saturn's moons (aside from Enceladus and Titan, whose density is increased by gravitational compression) it must have a considerable fraction of denser material like silicate rock in its interior.
One hypothesis was that shortly after its formation Dione was geologically active, and some process such as ice volcanism resurfaced much of its surface, with the streaks forming from eruptions along cracks in Dione's surface that fell back to the surface as snow or ash.
Like Callisto, Dione's craters lack the high relief features seen on the Moon and Mercury; this is probably due to slumping of the weak icy crust over geologic time.

Portable, the functionally-scaled models featured edges which had been cut to the contours of the states' shapes, an added sculptural and political or cultural quality.
Specifically, the geological metaphors of the Kansas and Missouri relief models can be traced to a series of projects in which McCollum extended his method of the copy from the Plaster Surrogates to naturally-occurring copies.
McCollum compiled a mailing list of the historical societies and regional museums in the two states based on the Directory of Historical Organizations in the United States and Canada, 15th edition, by Terry A. Cook and Susan C. Walters (Nashville, Tenn.: AASLH Press, American Association for State and Local History, 2002).

 History & Genealogy - Place Names and Maps - Guide to Maps at TSLA
Often features like streams, cemeteries, and churches, that are still present, are best located on modern maps such as county highway maps and the U.S. Geologic Survey topographic maps.
One group of older maps that is especially thorough and precise in its naming of features is the Division of Geology series, done for various Tennessee counties between 1915 and 1935.
Other than finding their ancestor's name on one of these maps (a rough approximation, at best), the best way for a researcher to learn the precise location of an historic homestead is to do a property title search through careful use of the deeds and related records.

These features form complex patterns and have a vertical relief of a few hundred meters and run for thousands of kilometers.
The grooved features were apparently formed more recently than the dark cratered area perhaps by tension from global tectonic processes.
Though similar in composition to Rhea and the rest of Saturn’s moons, it is denser because it is so large that its gravity slightly compresses its interior.
