What else can I help you with?
Do the craters cause more gravity on the moon?
No. The craters on the moon do not affect its gravity.
Why are craters preserved on the moon but not on earth?
Earth is geologically active and has wind and water to erode craters. The moon is geologically dead and has no atmosphere and thus no erosion. There is nothing on the moon to destroy impact craters.
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.
Why have very old craters on the moon not be erased as similar craters on earth have been?
Unlike Earth, the moon does not have air, water, glaciers, or plate tectonics to erase craters. The only forces that significantly alter the moon's surfaces are impacts that form new craters.
What cause the Moon's craters?
The craters on the Moon are considered to be impact craters, caused by meteoroids striking the Moon.
Why do the craters of the moon hardly change?
There is no erosion from wind or water.
How many craters are in the moon.?
There are 375 craters in the moon.....
What makes craters on earth less noticeabale than craters on the moon?
Erosion. The earth constantly has wind, water, and life walking and eroding impact craters, where the moon has none of the above. In fact, if you are to walk on the moon right now, you will leave footprints that will be on the moon forever.
Why do craters on the moon go undisturbed?
The moon has no geologic activity, no atmosphere, and no water, so there is nothing to disturb the craters except for more asteroid and comet impacts.
What does a moon have?
a moon has water ice craters rocks and might at one point of time... life.
What are the large holes on the moon called?
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
Why have old craters on the moon not been erased as similar craters on earth have been?
The moon has no atmosphere, liquid water, or plate tectonics and little volcanic activity or bury, erode, and southwester destroy impact craters.
