All impact craters are circular, no matter what the shape of the impactor or the angle of impact.
Of the options provided in the Discussion page, only choice "B" is accurate. The energy released in the impact melted the impactor - and the surface - to the point of being fluid, or at least malleable.
Option "D", that the craters were formed early in the Moon's history, is probably also true, but the circular shape of the craters isn't dependent on this.

What shape are lunar craters?
Circular unless hit very hard
The curved shadow on the moon during a lunar eclipse is evidence of earth's what?
curved shape. And that shape is probably a sphere.
What do the smallest lunar craters have or what they surrounded by or what shape are they?
They may have giant stair-like terraces that are created by slumping of the walls. It can be loose materials or a blanket of debris surrounding the crater.
Does radium have a shape?
The shape is not a characteristic of chemical elements but is a characteristic of objects.
What characteristic allows enzymes to function in a specfic way?
Each enzyme has a characteristic shape
Are phases of moon evidence of shape of the earth?
No, it has nothing to do with the shape of the Earth. Phases of the Moon are caused by the relative positions of the Sun, the Earth and the Moon. When seen through a telescope, Venus presents similar phases. However, the circular shape of Earth's shadow that is projected on the Moon' surface during a lunar eclipse is evidence that the Earth is round.
During a lunar eclipse the moon is what shape?
A lunar eclipse can only occur at the time of Full Moon.
Is shape a characteristic property?
Not generally, though crystal morphology can be.
What are craters and why would they stay on an object?
Craters are depressions in a planet's or moon's surface caused when a meteor hits the surface. On the moon craters remain undisturbed because there are no environmental forces like wind and rain to disturb resulting shape of the crater.
What is changing the shape of the moon called?
That is the lunar cycle, or the phases.
What characteristic allows enzymes to function a specific way?
Each enzyme has a characteristic shape
How are the structures of the moon and the earth different?
earth has a spherical shape a vast land...moon which has craters..
