What has caused all of the craters on the moons surface?
Space rocks (meteors) striking the surface.
The term that you use to describe the dusty surface layer of an object like the Moon is?

What are craters on the moon caused by?
For 300 years scientists thought that craters on the moon have been caused by volcanoes, but they are actually made by meteors crashing onto the moon's surface The moon is our satellite. As such it acts as a deflector for meteors and other space stuff that may come into our orbit! That is why the moon has so many craters as it is constantly being battered. The craters were caused mainly by impacts by objects from space.
What do you call the holes on the surface of the moon?
These are craters, caused by impacts. Because the moon does not have sufficient gravity to sustain an atmosphere, there is no protective barrier between the moon's surface and random objects in space. Craters will typically have a raised rim, a sloped crater wall leading into the depression and a crater floor that is the base of the depression. The surrounding area of a crater will have material "splashed" onto it from the impact. Larger craters will also have a central peak caused by the kinetic energy of an impacting object melting a portion of the lunar or impacting material.

What caused the airplane to move to the top of the lake in the book hatchet?
The airplane was lifted to the surface of the lake due to the accumulation of gas inside it, caused by its engine running which led to internal pressure build-up and eventual release when the plane broke the surface tension.
What are the dents on planets called?
They are called craters. They are caused by fast moving lumps of rock (meteors) crash into the side of a planet, and the impact creates a kind of pulse.

Why do meteors shine?
Meteors shine because of gases that burn in Earth's atmosphere. The friction caused by traveling in the atmosphere ignites the gases.
