Craters of the Moon National Preserve was created in 2002.
Craters of the Moon National Wilderness was created in 1970.
There is a national monument and national preserve located in Idaho that is called The Craters of the Moon. The name is a poetical reference to the desolation of the substantial lava fields in the park. It has nothing to do with the actual moon or its craters.
the moon craters were created by asteroids and meteors. shocking!
The area of Craters of the Moon National Wilderness is 174.998 square kilometers.
Theres no storms, rain or anything that effects it so it retains the craters no weather to destroy the craters.
The theory is that these are impact craters of meteors.

Most of the craters on Earth's moon are believed to have been caused by impacts from meteoroids, asteroids, and comets over millions of years. These impactors have struck the moon's surface and created the circular depressions we see as craters.
The dents on the moon are actually impact craters formed by meteoroids colliding with its surface. These craters have accumulated over billions of years and give the moon its characteristic rugged appearance.

No. Almost all large solid objects in the solar system have craters.
They were created by meteors hitting the moon and making craters.
