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.


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.


Why are craters aligned in Hawaii?

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.


How do crater form?

Craters form normally during impacts from meteorites, but can also have been formed by early volcanic activity. Most early planetoids and moons had Volcanic activity, when a volcano explodes or collapses is leave a caldera, which is a crater looking formation.
