Did volcanic eruptions cause craters on the Moon?
Some were probably volcanic but the craters large enough to be seen with smaller telescopes were almost all made by impacts.
Are holes in the planets made by asteroids?
If you mean craters then yes. Most craters are caused by impacts from asteroids or comets. Some craters, however, are volcanic.
Why are craters aligned in Hawaii?
The reason they are is beacouse they formed by volcanic crators
How were crater formed?
Most craters are formed by the impacts of asteroids and comets. Some craters on volcanically active bodies are volcanic in origin.
What word means a mountain with a crater?
Found on mountains, calderas look like volcanic craters that were left from an eruption, however they are not actually volcanic craters. The word comes from the Latin caldaria, meaning cooking pot.
What is mercurys surface material?
mercurys surface material is made out of nothing but craters
How many eruptions did Craters of the Moon have?
Craters on the moon are not volcanic, they are impact craters.

How are moon craters similar to volcanic craters?
Not at all. Volcanic craters are formed by volcanic action pushing up the earth's crust and melting out the middle area while spewing debris. Lunar craters are formed when meteorites hit the soft lunar regolith. The regolith is pushed aside explosively and leaves an indentation in the impact site.
What does the formation of a crater follow?
There are craters formed by asteroids crashing into Earth. There are craters formed by volcanic explosions. There are craters formed by collapses in the Earth's crust.

Little small crater in Portuguese islands?
All of the Azorean islands are volcanic in nature and have volcanic craters.
Is Mount Shasta the only volcano in California?
No. Other volcanoes in California include Lassen Peak, Medicine Lake, the Clear Lake Volcanic Field, the Mono Lake Volcanic Field, Mono Craters, Inyo Craters, Mammoth Mountain, Ubehebe Craters, the Golden Trout Creek Volcanic Field, and the Salton Buttes.
