Are the craters on Mercury called ray craters?
Not necessarily. A ray crater is in impact crater that has tapering lines of light-volored material extening outward. Ray craters can found on Mercury and other objects such as the moon, but most of these craters are not ray craters.
What unique features are found on Earth's moon?
The most recent unique feature found on the moon was methane rich pockets of ice formed in the deep craters on the moon
What are the three features Galileo saw on the moon?
He found that the Earth moves around that sun. The surface of the moon seemed pitted with craters. and the third one I don't know. Hope the other two help! :)
What are depressions on the moon called?
The maria (singular mare) on the moon contain igneous rocks and are dark-colored, fairly flat regions. Craters, however are circular depressions on the moon formed by the impacts of meteoroids.
Why do some planets have craters?
The shape and size of a crater is dependent on the speed, size, and direction of the object that made the crater. Try tossing some big and little rocks or balls into some soft dirt or sand and see what happens!
How many impacts craters and basins have been found on earth?
Earth Impact Database, a website concerned with over 170 scientifically-confirmed impact craters on Earth.
Are craters big on the planet Mercury?
Large multi-ringed impact basins, with diameters of hundreds of kilometers or more, are to be found on Mercury.
Which landforms are found on earth NOT on the moon?
i have the same homework as you, but all i know is its not mountains (which is 'a') and its not impact craters (which is 'b')
Large craters found on earth support the hypothesis that impact events have caused?
mass extinctions of animals and plants
Why have scientists found few impact craters on Earth?
Because there are few erosion processes on the Moon to erase the craters. The Earth has had many more impacts, but those in the ocean were covered up and those on land were eroded away.
Is petroleum formed in shallow ocean basins?
No, petroleum is found in the Earth.
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
Are the craters on Mercury called ray craters?
Not necessarily. A ray crater is in impact crater that has tapering lines of light-volored material extening outward. Ray craters can found on Mercury and other objects such as the moon, but most of these craters are not ray craters.
Why are numerous impact craters found on Ganymede and Callisto but not on Io or Europa?
IO is an active volcanic moon, and any craters are swamped with volcanic lava.Europa is an "ice" moon and any impact is swamped with melted water, which later refreezes.
Why are the lunar mountains semi-circular instead of linear like the Earth's?
I think its because the lunar mountains are associated with the large circular impact craters found on the moon, whereas on earth we have plate tectonics that from our mountains on the linear plate boundaries.
This is rarely found on earth because earths surface is constantly changing?
Meteorite craters.
Where are craters are found?
By name, Craters of Diamonds State Park is located in USA, in Arkansas. All diamonds are exploded to the earth's surface from volcanic pipes, which when mined turn into craters. You can see these craters in Africa, Canada, Russia, Brazil, India and Australia.
