Abstract：Existing parameters for tomography and relevant research about the moonquakes are not necessarily accurate due to he low precision of moonquake location resulted from outdated velocity models published during last century.However,the accuracy of lunar velocity model and stratigraphic structure has been improved greatly thanks to latest studies on lunar internal structure.This paper se-lects new arrival times from Apollo moonquake data,and relocates the moonquakes using Geiger method based on the latest lunar ve-locity model.In addition,the differences of distribution and mechanism between moonquakes and earthquakes are analyzed.This study can offer more information for further research of moonquakes and lunar internal structure.
