When meteorites or other objects strike the Moon what do they create?
Impact Basin / Impact Crater
What is the largest impact basin in the solar system?
South Pole-Aitken basin - Moon - Diameter: 2,500 km http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Impact_crater#Largest_named_craters_in_the_Solar_System --Geoffrey A. Landis
Why might the discovery of ice in impact basins at the moon's poles be important to future space flights?
when meteorites and other objects strike the moon, they leave behind depressions in the moons surface. The depression left behind by an object striking the moon is known as an imoact basin, or impact crater.

What would happen if Earth and the moon collided?
The collision will destroy all life on Earth. The moon is 2,159 miles in diameter. So if it hits, it will leave a huge impact basin thousands of miles across

What is it called then objects hit the moon and create craters?
A Impact Basin
Concentration of mass on the moon located under an impact basin?
mascons
What is the oldest identifyable impact feature on the Moon's surface?
The South Pole-Aitken basin.

What is the name of the Moon's largest impact crater?
The South Pole-Aitken basin (not "Aitken crater") on the far side of the moon, at 1,600 miles across, is not only the largest known impact crater on the moon but one of the largest in the solar system. It is also believed to be the moon's oldest and deepest (over 8 miles deep).
What is the moons south pole impact crater?
the south pole o the moon is called aitkin basin. that is all i know tai it over experts

The depression left behind by an object striking the moon is called a?
A crater is a depression that is caused when an object hits a heavenly body, such as the moon. Since the moon has almost no atmosphere - and therefore no wind - the craters that have formed aren't erased over time from erosion (which has occurred here on Earth). The largest crater on the moon, the Aitken basin, is 2,500 km across and 13 km deep.
