Sinuous Rilles

Sinuous Rilles is a type of lunar channel morphology characterized by its winding, river-like path and associated with ancient volcanic activity, distinguished from other impact-related or tectonic landforms by its curvilinear geometry and formation through the flow of low-viscosity lava in collapsed lava tubes or surface channels.
