Despite the large amount of accumulated data there is still considerable debate about the role of various processes in the formation of the lunar surface. One of the processes frequently discussed is that of horizontal transport and how it affected surface chemistry and surface features. The orbital experiments flown on Apollo 15 and 16 enable us to consider the extent of horizontal transport. In particular, the X-ray experiment because of its low penetration depth permits us to make at least crude estimates of the extent of horizontal transport.
