How were the craters on the moon made?
Craters happen when meteorites impact on the Moon's surface. Most of the craters on the Moon are billions of years old, the impacts were much more common during the early stages of the solar system's formation. There are craters on the Earth's surface as well. They are just harder to see, because the surface of the Earth changes faster because we have an atmosphere and erosion.
Name the three kinds of features that Galileo saw on the Moon's surface?
Craters. Mountainous areas. Also, the dark areas called "maria" are very prominent, mainly on the side of the Moon facing Earth. The whole surface is covered in broken rock and dust. That's why astronauts left footprints.
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.
What is the moon characterized by?
Impact craters, mountains, smooth dark area called Maria, highly reflective and powdery surface, rocky terrain.
Tiny indentations of the plasma membrane that resemble caves are called?
vescles

What is a depression on a terrestrial planet or satellite called?
A Crater Craters are the most common surface features on many solid planets and moons—Mercury and our Moon are covered with craters. Craters are roughly circular, excavated holes made by impact events. The circular shape is due to material flying out in all directions as a result of the explosion upon impact, not a result of the impactor having a circular shape (almost no impactors are spherical)
