The dark stuff on the moon is just darkness. It's just because the sun is not lighting that part up.Or is that what you're talking about?
Edit : I think the question refers to the "maria" or "seas".
These are nothing to do with water as was once thought. They are the remains of ancient volcanic activity. They are lava flows.

What Dark relatively flat regions of the moon's surface that were formed when interior lava filled large basins are called?
craters
Dark-colored, relatively flat regions of the moon's surface that were formed when interior lava filled large basins are called?
A maria
What are dark colored relatively flat regions of the moon's surface formed when interior lava filled large basins?
The lunar maria (singular: mare) are large, dark, basaltic plains on Earth's Moon, formed by ancient volcanic eruptions.no that won't fit in my crossword _ _ _ _ amaria
Far where on the moon have the youngest rocks been found?
The youngest rocks found on the moon are igneous rocks. They are found on the Maria, dark, flat regions on the moon.
Why does the moon appear to have dark patches on its surface?
The dark patches on the Moon are large plains which were formed by lava flows early in the Moon's history. In the past, the Moon was heavily bombarded by the material leftover from planet formation. Some of the objects which hit the Moon were very big and formed large impact basins. These basins were then flooded by the darker volcanic material from the Moon's interior. The lava flows covered any craters in their path, so these plains have very few craters compared to other places on the Moon. People once thought that these dark patches were seas on the Moon, so these regions were given the name "maria" which is the latin word for seas. The maria cover about seventeen percent of the Moon's surface and are found mainly on the side of the Moon facing Earth

Dark regions on the surface of the moon are generally?
Dark regions on the surface of the moon are generally basalt flows. Basalt is a dark rock. The flows have been caused by rock melting due to heat generated by meteor impacts.
What are large dark areas on the moon?
craters
What are dark flat areas on the moon's surface?
The large flat areas on the moon are called "Maria" (Latin for "seas", because the early astronomers thought that's what they are). They are huge regions of smooth rock. If very dark, they are so by being in shadows. Smaller dark spots are meteor-impact crater floors in the shadows of the crater wall.
What are some of the observation that have been made of the moon?
that there are dark flat creators on the regions of moons surface.

The youngest rocks found on the moon are igneous rocks. They are found on the Maria, dark, flat regions on the moon.
