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.
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.
It reflects light from the Sun and it has different phases.
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.
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.
Full Moon Features was created in 1989.
The craters on the Moon are caused by the impacts of meteoroids.
Cracks in the moon's bedrock are called "faults" or "fractures." These features are caused by stress and movement within the lunar surface, much like on Earth.
The moon features: Craters Rocks and nothing else
The mountain features on the Moon, known as lunar mountains, are primarily caused by the impact of asteroids and comets during the Moon's formation and early history. These collisions created massive craters, and the subsequent geological processes, including volcanic activity and tectonic movements, contributed to the elevation and formation of mountain ranges. Additionally, the Moon's lack of atmosphere and weathering processes means that these features have remained relatively unchanged over billions of years.
Asteroids and gravity create the surface features on the moon.
