The lunar highlands have more impact craters than the maria so scientists know that the highlands are what?
the lunar highlands are younger then the lunar maria
Why are there fewer large impact craters on the Earth's seafloor than on the continents?
The seafloor crust is younger than the continental crust.
Are craters larger than calderas?
Not necessarily. Some impact craters are quite small, down to only a few meters across. At the other end, some impact craters are far larger than calderas.
How are the craters on mars caused?
The craters are formed by a large object such as an asteroid or a comet. When these large objets hit the surface they form holes. Known as craters. Craters can be many shapes and sizes depending on the object. That's how craters are formed. Mars has a much thinner atmosphere than Earth, so more objects reach the Martian surface intact, and the lack of water, glaciers, and plate tectonic mean the craters last longer than they do on Earth.
How do mountains or craters on the surfaces of the earth and the moon compare with each other?
The biggest difference is the craters on the moon erode at a much slower rate. Here on earth, it takes a few thousand years for a crater to fill in and become not much more than a valley. On the moon, the craters last until ejecta from newer craters fills the holes of the older craters. The mountains of the earth are covered with snow and below the timberline lie trees. There is no snow or trees on the moon. The mountains on the moon look a lot sharper and the rocks stand out because they're not covered in dust. The lunar mountains look much rounder and the entire surface of the moon is covered in a very thin layer of dust.

the lunar highlands are younger then the lunar maria
The lunar highlands have more impact craters than maria so scientists know the highlands?
The lunar highlands are older than the maria.

The seafloor crust is younger than the continental crust.
How does a mare's age affect her gestation period?
Younger mares and mares with good uterine characteristics tend to foal earlier than older mares. With age the uterus tends to be compromised to a greater or lesser degree which slows the development of the foal and increases gestation.
What is the main reason that impact craters on the Moon last much longer than impact craters on earth?
Impact craters on the moon have no water/weather to erode the craters away, but on Earth the erosion erases the craters over time.
Is mares a group of animals?
no silly, HARD Mares is the plural of mare, which is a female horse/pony. So "mares" would be more than one female horse/pony.
Why do moon craters remain visible longer than earth craters?
There is no significant amount of erosion on the Moon.
Are craters larger than calderas?
Not necessarily. Some impact craters are quite small, down to only a few meters across. At the other end, some impact craters are far larger than calderas.
Is younger than me or younger than I correct?
Younger than me is correct.

Will a planet with active volcanoes have more or fewer craters than a planet without active volcanoes?
A planet with active volcanoes will have fewer craters, as older craters will tend to be buried by lava and ash.
