Yes - but the earth also has weather. In a short period of time (in astronomical terms) the craters are "erased" by the weather. A few newer ones are still plainly visible, notably Meteor Crater near WInslow, Arizona. That one is 50,000 year old or less (very recent) and can still be seen clearly. In it's early days, earth almost certainly looked like the moon or Mercury look today. But weather heals all wounds.
What else can I help you with?
Who has more craters the earth or the moon?
there are more craters on the moon then on earth
Do craters cover most of the Earth?
No. Earth has relatively few impacts craters.
Does earth have volcanoes craters rings valleys?
Earth has volcanoes, craters, and valleys but not rings.
Were the earth's craters caused by earthquakes?
Earth's craters have been created by Meteorites and Volcanoes.
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.
How many craters Earth?
There are a huge number of craters on the Earth, including very small impact sites. There are about 65 named and documented craters on the planet.
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.
What object that is covered with craters orbits the earth?
The moon and Luna are the object that is covered with craters orbits the earth
Are mars craters bigger then Earth craters?
yes its like the moons
What burn up craters before they hit the earth?
Nothing burns up craters before they hit earth.
Why does the moon have craters an the earth does not?
The Earth does have craters, but because of the seas and vegetation on land, they are not as noticeable. However there are some that are very noticeable, like the famous one in Arizona. Craters on Earth and the Moon are caused by impacts of meteorites.
Why do you see many impact craters on the moon but not earth?
The Earth has weather patterns that have eroded most of the craters on Earth. The moon has no weather, therefore no erosion.
