The features on the Moon formed by objects crashing into its surface are?
When an asteroid, comet, or meteorite collides with the Moon a crater is formed.
What is formed by meteorites?
impact craters
Why is the earth not covered with craters?
The earth is not covered with impact craters because weather and geological activity erodes the craters away over time.
Features of earths moon?
Impact craters.
How can you determine that a location on a planet or moon must have had recent geological activity?
There will be few impact craters.
Large circular features on moon's surface?
Impact craters
What formed when meteorites struck the moon's surface?
Impact craters.
What is moon craters?
The moon's craters are impact craters, formed by collisions of interplanetary debris (asteroids, comets, etc.) with the surface of the moon.
How were the depressions on the moon formed?
The depressions on the moon are impact craters formed by collisions with asteroids and comets.
Are most lunar craters that are formed by erosion caused by glaciers?
Most lunar craters are impact craters caused by incoming meteors and asteroids. Since our moon has no atmosphere there can be no glaciers or erosion.
The youngest features visible with telescopes on the Moon are?
Some of the impact craters are young. Those inside or overlapping older craters are obviously younger, as are those with streamers of debris overlying older craters.
What are moon craters How were they formed?
craters are depressions on the moon's surface caused by meteoric or asteroid impact. another theory is that it may have been caused by volcanic explosions but meteoric impacts are the major reason the craters.
