Most lunar craters are circular. It takes a very unusual shallow (or grazing) impact to make a crater that is not circular.

What shapes are the lunar craters?
Polyhedrons
What is the lunar surface made out of?
The lunar surface is made up of rocks and craters of all shapes.
Is there a map of lunar craters?
There are not only maps of the lunar craters, there are lunar globes that depict the Moon just as it is. Even better; there is Google Moon! www.google.com/moon
What caused the shapes on the moon?
The technological term for these foreign "Shapes" are "Lunar Craters" Lunar Crates are created or developed by the moons lack of 3 mandatory characteristics for a planet to have life: - Atmosphere - Water/Life preserving liquid - And tectonic plates This leads to erosion that ranges from being Major or Minor in certain situations. This means little bits of the moon erode. Lunar Craters are fully eroded after 25,000 or so years. Hope this helped! - Kanaan Yarahuan
What is the origin of the majority of lunar craters?
Meteorite impacts.

Are most lunar craters that are formed by erosion caused by glaciers?
Most lunar craters are impact craters caused by incoming meteors and asteroids. Since our moon has no atmosphere there can be no glaciers or erosion.
Lunar rays are apparently the same age as lunar craters?
craters... :)

What might be responsible for most of the craters on earth's moon?
The vast majority of lunar craters are caused by meteor impacts.

Lunar craters that are relatively young exhibit?
Young lunar craters exhibit many features, but the most prominent is "rays". These are streaks of light colored debris that spread radially outward from the impact crater. The Tycho Crater is the classic example.
What is the result of lunar craters?
it is a result of an asteroid impact
What is the origin of the majority of lunar craters?
Meteorite impacts.
How long do lunar craters last?
They last forever.
