Some of the mountains on the Moon appear to be natural formations. Unlike Earth, where wind and rain erode mountains and hillsides, the vacuum of the Moon keeps every feature pristine.

The only things that affects the Lunar surface are meteors. Millions of meteor impact craters speckle the entire face of the Moon. Craters on craters IN craters; probably 3.5 billion years worth of lunar impact craters has made the Moon what we see today.

What evidence supports the theory that moonquakes are believed to have caused the moon's geological features?

Moonquakes are believed to have caused the moon's geological features based on evidence such as the presence of fault scarps, which are cliffs formed by tectonic activity, and the distribution of shallow moonquakes near these scarps. Additionally, the analysis of seismic data from moonquakes suggests that they are caused by the moon's cooling and shrinking interior.

Reasons for the Moon's features?

The Moon's craters are largely caused by meteor impacts, other features are due to geologic (or selenologic I suppose) activity, much like earth. Because no air or water to speake of, there is no erosion hence features remain static for a long time.


What features of the moon are caused by rocks or comets that crash into its surface?

Impact craters, rays, and regolith (loose, fragmented material) are features on the moon caused by rocks or comets crashing into its surface. Impact craters are circular depressions formed by high-speed impacts, rays are long trails of ejecta material, and regolith is the layer of broken rock and dust covering the moon's surface.
