Best Answer

The Oceanus Procellarum, translated as the "Sea of Storms" is a large dark area in the Western Hemisphere of the moon. In old times it was believed to be an ocean, but it is now known to be a plain covered in basalt, a dark volcanic rock. It most likely formed when the region was flooded by lava following a series of massive asteroid impacts.
