  Montes Apenninus - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Montes Apennines are a rugged mountain range on the northern part of the Moon's near side.
To the west of these mountains is a narrow gap where Mare Imbrium in the north joins Mare Insularum to the south.
From Eratosthenes, the mountains form an arcing chain that gradually bends from east to northeast, ending at Promontorium Fresnel at about latitude 29.5° N. Here is another gap where the Mare Imbrium to the west joins the Mare Serenitatis to the east.

 Mare Vaporum - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The mare is bordered by the mountain range Montes Apenninus.
This lighter-hued area of irregular terrain is bounded along the northwest by the rugged Montes Apenninus range, and to the northeast by the less impressive Montes Haemus mountains.
They are clustered near the southern borders of the area, and fill much of the terrain between Mare Vaporum and the Montes Haemus.

This section of the Apennines is crossed by two railways, from Pistoia to Bologna and from Florence to Faenza, and by several good high roads, of which the direct road from Florence to Bologna over the Futa pass is of Roman origin; and certain places in it are favourite summer resorts.
(The Monte Conero, to the south of Ancona, was originally an island of the Pliocene sea.) By some geographers, indeed, it is treated as a part of the central Apennines.
The volcanic mountains of the province of Rome are separated from the Apennines by the Tiber valley, and the Monti Lepini, or Volscian mountains, by the valleys of the Sacco and Liri.

Santos-Dumont is a small lunar impact crater that lies in the northern end of the Montes Apenninus range at the eastern edge of the Mare Imbrium.
This crater is a circular, bowl-shaped formation that is situated atop a ridge in the Montes Apenninus.
This last formation forms the northern end of the Montes Apenninus, and lies astride the gap that joins the Mare Imbrium to the west with the Mare Serenitatis to the east.

 biology - Mare Imbrium
The outermost ring of mountains has a diameter of 1300 km and is divided into several different ranges; the Montes Carpatus to the south, the Montes Apenninus to the southwest, and the Montes Caucasus to the east.
The ring mountains are not as well developed to the north and west, and it appears they were simply not raised as high in these regions by the Imbrium impact.
It is surrounded from the northeast to the southwest by the Montes Jura range.

Montes Apenninus (Apennine Mountains – for this one orient your linear diameter scale along the length of the mountains.)
For craters, make note whether the floor of the crater is smooth or rough, if it has a central peak or not, etc. These observations should be included in the “data, observations and results” section of your lab report.
· Use the linear diameter scale (lined up east-to-west except for Montes Apenninus) to measure the size of the object.
