No. The craters on the moon are the result of massive asteroid and comet impacts.
When meteorites strike the moon, they create impact craters due to the powerful force of the collision. These craters vary in size and depth depending on the size and speed of the meteorite. Over time, the accumulation of impact craters has contributed to the rugged and cratered surface of the moon that we observe today.

The moon has many craters because it lacks an atmosphere to protect it from impacts by meteoroids and asteroids. When these space rocks collide with the moon's surface, they create craters that remain preserved due to the moon's inactive geological processes.
Objects that hit the moon are typically referred to as meteoroids or asteroids. When they reach the moon's surface, they create impact craters.
A Impact Basin
Craters on the moon were mostly formed by impacts from meteoroids and asteroids colliding with the moon's surface. When these objects traveling at high speeds hit the moon, they create craters by excavating material from the lunar surface. Some craters may also have been caused by volcanic activity early in the moon's history.
The craters on the Moon are considered to be impact craters, caused by meteoroids striking the Moon.
There are 375 craters in the moon.....
When small meteorites crash into the Moon, they create impact craters. These craters can vary in size depending on the size and speed of the meteorite. Over time, the accumulation of these impact craters contributes to the Moon's rugged and cratered surface.
The large indentation on the surface of the moon areÊcalled craters. It is a circular depression in the surface of the moon and other solid body in the solar system.Ê
