How many eruptions did Craters of the Moon have?
Craters on the moon are not volcanic, they are impact craters.
What cause the Moon's craters?
The craters on the Moon are considered to be impact craters, caused by meteoroids striking the Moon.
What is the main reason that impact craters on the Moon last much longer than impact craters on earth?
Impact craters on the moon have no water/weather to erode the craters away, but on Earth the erosion erases the craters over time.
What is moon craters?
The moon's craters are impact craters, formed by collisions of interplanetary debris (asteroids, comets, etc.) with the surface of the moon.
Features of earths moon?
Impact craters.
What created the large craters you we see on the moon?
The theory is that these are impact craters of meteors.
What are the large holes on the moon called?
The large indentation on the surface of the moon areÊcalled craters. It is a circular depression in the surface of the moon and other solid body in the solar system.Ê
Why does the moon have circles?
Those are impact craters from when it was hit by meteors. The moon has no weather, so they never got erased like most of the impact craters that were on Earth's surface.
Why do you see impact craters on mercury and the moon but not so much on earth?
Because there are not as many impact craters that you can see very well on Earth like there are on the Moon and Mercury.
What might be responsible for most of the craters on earth's moon?
The vast majority of lunar craters are caused by meteor impacts.
Why does it look like there are spots on the moon?
They are the craters on the moon, caused by the impact of meteorites.
Why are craters preserved on the moon but not on earth?
Earth is geologically active and has wind and water to erode craters. The moon is geologically dead and has no atmosphere and thus no erosion. There is nothing on the moon to destroy impact craters.
