What do the surface features and their distribution on the moon's surface tell you about its history?

Earth's shadow on the moon proved that earth wasn't flat. When galileo first turned his telescope to the moon, he found a surface scarred by craters and maria. Before that time, many people believed that all planetary bodies were "perfect" without surface features.

∙ 10y agoThere are two outstanding features revealed by looking at the moon's surface. Geologists and geographers have noted that at one time it seems the moon had active volcanos and that the surface craters were the result of large meteors crashing into its surface.

Why don't moons have moons?
The moon has plenty of gravity. In accordance with its mass and radius, any object weighs about 16.5% as much on the moon's surface as it does on the Earth's surface.

We only see one part of the surface, at any time the moons faces occur.
Are maria a flat areas on the moons surface?

Which of jupiters moons surface features provide evidence of a subsurface liquid ocean?
Europa...
Is there a hole in the moon's surface?
the holes in the moons surface are where astroids hit the moons surface
How does crater density relate the the moons geologic history?
The greater the crater density, the older the surface must be old.
What are the moons surface features and interior?
everyone nose that the moon is made out of cheese, but what most people don't know is there are nachos deep in the core
What are the large circular features on the moons surface?
The very largest impact features on the Moon are the enormous impact basins: great circular plains from 300 to more than a thousand kilometers across
What planet has two moons and hot rocky surface?
MarsYou have listed three features of the planet; rocky surface, hot temperature, and 2 moons. While Mars is a terrestrial planet (has a rocky surface) and has 2 moons (Phobos and Deimos), you're wrong on the last feature, in which you have written that Mars has hot temperature conditions. This is wrong, because the temperature on Mars is usually well below zero.
How are the moons seen from the surface of Jupiter?
You would not be able to see the moons from the surface; Jupiter's atmosphere is too thick.
