Why don't the craters on the moon eventually erode away?
They do, but very slowly. There is no atmosphere or liquid water on the Moon, meaning no wind, waves, or blowing dust to erode the craters. There is also no volcanic activity or tectonic action to erase them as on Earth. Many more craters have been obliterated by subsequent impacts than by slowly crumbling away. Some craters are hundreds of millions of years old.
Why do craters last for millions of years on the moon?
Craters last for millions of years on the Moon because there is no atmosphere to erode them. On Earth, weathering processes like wind and water can slowly wear away craters, but on the Moon, the lack of atmosphere means that craters remain relatively unchanged for long periods of time. Additionally, the Moon's surface experiences very slow geological processes, further preserving these features.
What are facts about mecury?
one day on mercury is 58 earth days and 12 hours1.) mercurys atomic number is 802.) mercurys atomic symbol is Hg3.)mercury is toxic4.)mercury is sometimes used in thermometers5.)mercury is shiny or silvery6.)mercurys melting point is 234.32 kelvins
Why can we see the craters of the moon so clearly from earth?
We can see the craters of the moon clearly from Earth because the moon has no atmosphere to erode them, so they remain preserved. When the sun shines on the moon's surface at an angle, it creates long shadows that make the craters stand out more prominently, enhancing their visibility from Earth.
How did the Grand Canyon erode and evolve over time?
The grand canyon erodes because of weatherization and plate shifting.
A sentence on Venus and Mercury?
Mercurys size is very big it is 444,888
Why have very old craters of the moon not been erased as similar craters on earth have been?
Old craters on the Moon have been preserved for billions of years due to the lack of erosion and tectonic activity on its surface. Unlike Earth, the Moon does not have an atmosphere or active geological processes like plate tectonics that can erode or cover up craters. As a result, many of the Moon's craters remain visible and relatively unchanged over time.
How does mercurys atmosphere affect mercury?
it makes it very hot and oncreases the amount of radiation
Why are very few craters seen on the earth?
Earth has active weather and geology. The movement of wind and water on Earth can erode away craters and bury their remnants. Craters may also be distorted by geologic activity, subjected into the mantle, or buried y volcanic deposits.
How many craters Earth?
There are a huge number of craters on the Earth, including very small impact sites. There are about 65 named and documented craters on the planet.
How would landscape be like on mercury?
It is quite similar to that of our moons landscape. It has craters, boulders and rocks on the surface. There is no atmosphere, so no wind or rain to erode the craters away over time. The sky would be black rather than blue, while the sun would appear much larger in size.
Are there bottomless craters on the moon?
Yes there are craters, and yes some of them are very deep. All craters, however, do in fact have a bottom. A bottomless crater would actually be best described as a "hole," and there are no holes through the Moon.
