Most impact craters on Earth have been eroded by water or glaciers, buried under sediment, or destroyed by tectonic processes.
What else can I help you with?
Why are craters on the moon but not on the earth?
Metorites have crashed onto the moon which has not happened to the earth. Although the earth has been struck it has not happened enough to be noticable.
Who has more craters the earth or the moon?
there are more craters on the moon then on earth
What happened to all of earths craters?
Erosion and coverage. Weather, rain, floods, wind, earthquakes, plants and so on have eroded much of the craters that were on earth. Vegetation helps to disguise earth's craters as well. Since Earth has had an atmosphere for quite some time, many meteors burn up in the atmosphere before they would hit earth and leave a crater. Now only some of the largest craters are visible.
Do craters cover most of the Earth?
No. Earth has relatively few impacts craters.
Does earth have volcanoes craters rings valleys?
Earth has volcanoes, craters, and valleys but not rings.
Were the earth's craters caused by earthquakes?
Earth's craters have been created by Meteorites and Volcanoes.
Why can we see craters on the moon so clearly from Earth?
In astronomical terms the moon is very close to Earth, much closer than anything else. Other astronomical bodies have similar cratering but are too far away for us to see them. Second, the moon is geologically dead. There are no processes on the moon's surface to destroy or bury the craters on the moon as has happened to Earth's craters.
What does the formation of a crater follow?
There are craters formed by asteroids crashing into Earth. There are craters formed by volcanic explosions. There are craters formed by collapses in the Earth's crust.
How many craters Earth?
There are a huge number of craters on the Earth, including very small impact sites. There are about 65 named and documented craters on the planet.
What is the main reason that impact craters on the Moon last much longer than impact craters on earth?
Impact craters on the moon have no water/weather to erode the craters away, but on Earth the erosion erases the craters over time.
What object that is covered with craters orbits the earth?
The moon and Luna are the object that is covered with craters orbits the earth
Are mars craters bigger then Earth craters?
yes its like the moons
