What are two types of moon craters?
Two types of moon craters are impact craters, formed by asteroids or meteoroids hitting the moon's surface, and volcanic craters, formed by volcanic activity on the moon when magma rises to the surface and erupts.
What 2 ways craters were formed on the moon?
Craters on the moon were formed primarily through two processes: impact from meteoroids and volcanic activity. Impact craters were created when meteoroids collided with the moon's surface, causing large depressions. Volcanic craters, on the other hand, formed when volcanic activity released magma and gases, creating bowl-shaped depressions.
Why are there two craters on the far side of the moon?
There can be craters anywhere on the moon, not just the side we see
What are the two main features of the moon?
It reflects light from the Sun and it has different phases.
What are the three features Galileo saw on the moon?
He found that the Earth moves around that sun. The surface of the moon seemed pitted with craters. and the third one I don't know. Hope the other two help! :)
What type of landscape makes up the Moon's surface?
The Moon has two main surface types: the "maria" and the "terrae" (highland areas). The whole Moon is cratered, but most craters are in the highland areas. The maria were formed from ancient lava flows and were once thought to be seas of water.
What are two interesting things about the moon?
two things that are intresting about the moon are the glow and the rocks
What are moon craters?
The word crater (meaning bowl-shaped) is applied to two different phenomena.On planets and moons, meteor craters are the circular depressions caused by the impacts of other objects, mainly smaller asteroids and meteoroids. They are prominent on the Moon and on the planet Mercury. Some objects hit Earth in the past, but only a few landmarks still exhibit their characteristic bowl shape.The other use is to describe a volcanic caldera, or inner depression within a volcano. Many dormant volcanoes have solidified craters in their peaks, some with lakes or glaciers.
What are craters and what causes them?
Craters are impressions or indentations in the surface of a planet or moon. They form from the collision of an asteroid or meteoroid. They are typically circular and comparatively shallow, often with a raised rim. They are numerous on the Earth's Moon, and on planets such Mercury and Mars which are not protected by a dense atmosphere. On Earth, erosion and vulcanism eventually erase the obvious shape of a crater, and few impacts make any substantial impression. A notable example is the Barringer crater near Winslow, Arizona, which has eroded little since it was formed about 50,000 years ago.
Why doesn't the Moon look like the Earth if it is a fragment of the Earth?
We don't believe that the Moon is properly a "fragment" of the Earth. We believe that the Moon was formed from the debris when the pre-Earth collided with another primeval planet in the very early years of the solar system, about 4.5 billion years ago. The cores of the two planets probably merged; this may be why the Earth has a larger iron core than the Moon does. The debris from the collision blasted away later coalesced to form the Moon. The Moon has no atmosphere, and most likely never did. Without any atmosphere or water, the dry and sterile Moon never developed life, or any agents that would erode impact craters. So the Moon is covered with craters, but on Earth the craters are eroded away and erased within a few million years, by the action of rain, rivers, and wind.
What caused the craters and rilles on the moon?
Great GOD did it in the age of Mohammed the last messenger , when some people didn't believe in the message of Mohammed , they asked him if there is God , so Let him split the moon in two, Mohammed SAS asked God to Do it , and God did it , these people didn't believe what they saw ans said that Mohammed made magic to their eyes , but after few days , other people came from other place and said that while they were in the sahara they saw the moon splitting in two .The foregoing is a faith-based answer. The scientific explanation is that the Moon's craters were caused by meteors, asteroids and comets, while the rilles were caused by lava flows.
What is the secret to the moon is round has two eyes a nose and a mouth?
The phrase "the moon is round, has two eyes, a nose, and a mouth" refers to a playful way of describing the appearance of the moon when viewed from Earth. The "eyes" and "mouth" are often formed by the dark maria (seas) and craters on its surface, which can create facial-like features in the imagination. This whimsical imagery is a common way to engage children's curiosity about the moon and its features. Ultimately, it reflects a creative interpretation rather than a literal description.
