What is a low or sunken feature on the moon?
its a maria.
What is the significant feature of the moon?
It causes our water masses to have high and low tides with its magnetic pull on our earth.
Is it impossible to skateboard on the moon?
Yes. The moon has a surface covered in rocks and dust, which is not good for skateboarding. The low gravity would also make things difficult.
Why dont moon buggies float away?
They are in a low gravity environment, but it's not zero gravity. The Moon's surface gravity is about a sixth of the Earth's. That's enough to keep Moon buggies in place.
How is the moon related to tides by the moon's gravity?
Because, when there is a high tide, there is a combination of the gravity of the sun and moon pulling on the Earths surface. When that happens, there is high tide. When there is low tide, the moon is on a 90 percent degree different part of the sun, so that area has the least gravity, which means there will be low tide.

A low or sunken surface feature?
A depression
How the moon affects the Earth's surface?
Moon affects the tide. It causes low tide and high tide on Earth. I guess it does not have a direct impact on the land surface of the Earth.

What is the gravity of the moon Io relative to earth's gravity?
The surface gravity on Io is very low compared to Earth, due to its low mass, around 0.183g or 18.3% of the Earths pull at the surface. this is just a little more than the surface gravity on our own moon, which is about 16.5% of earths pull.
What are some causes of river and coastal flooding?
Low surface pressure and a new moon are the main reasons

Is the temperature on the moon too hot for man?
There is no atmosphere so it is surface temperature only. The surface temperature in full sun can be as high as about 200ºF to as low (on the dark side) as about -200ºF.
What do you mean by astronomical observation from moon surface vis a vis low earth orbiting observatory?
What is meant is having an observatory on the moon vice in low earth orbit. Search some of the other questions that were answered on this topic for further information.
Why cannot live on moon?
Two reasons - no air, and low gravity. Any accommodation erected on the moon would have to be air-tight, and securely anchored to the moon's surface. Additionally - it would have to be able to withstand constant bombardment by asteroids.
