Meteorites that strike the moon's surface cause which surface feature?
craters.
What are pieces of rock that strike the surface of a moon or planet called?
Pieces of rock that strike the surface of a moon or planet are called meteorites.
Are there meteorites on the moon?
yes. The craters you see with the naked eye looking at the moon are from meteors striking the moon. meteorites are what is left of a meteor that has already struck a large body (such as a planet or moon)
Meteorites that strike the moons surface cause which surface feature?
Meteorites that strike the moon's surface can cause impact craters. These craters are formed when the meteorite hits the surface at high speeds, creating a depression in the lunar landscape. Over time, these impact craters can provide valuable information about the history of meteorite impacts on the moon.
What is the difference between moon rocks and meteorites?
Moon rocks are rocks that have been collected from the surface of the moon by astronauts during space missions. Meteorites, on the other hand, are space rocks that have entered Earth's atmosphere and landed on the planet's surface. Moon rocks originate from the moon, while meteorites come from various sources in space.
How meteorites shape the Moon's surface?
they damage it
How do meteorites shape the moon surface?
they damage it
How do moon craters form on the moon?
They are formed by asteroids and meteorites crashing into the surface of the moon
What is the moon surface is it even smooth or rough?
The moon's surface is rough - due to numerous impacts from meteorites
Pieces of rock that strike the surface of a moon or planet?
These are meteoroids, small pieces of rock debris in space. They enter the earths atmosphere at high speeds, burning up brightly as shooting stars for a brief period due to the friction against the gas in the atmosphere - at this point they are referred to as meteors. If any surviving pieces are found on the surface, they are called meteorites. Since the moon has no atmosphere, meteoroids are able to survive the decent more easily, since there is no gas to cause them to burn up through friction.
What formed when meteorites struck the moon's surface?
Impact craters.
Why do meteorites reach the surface of the Moon then the surface of the Earth?
More reach the surface of the moon because there is no atmosphere to heat and burn them up.
