The moon is known for having many craters. Some of the craters have been given names by various astronomers and scientists, based on explorations of the moon done by NASA
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.
No. Most of the impact craters that have formed on Earth have been destroyed and buried by geologic processes, processes that the moon lacks. While some recent impact craters on Earth remain visible on the surface, they are too small to be seen from the moon.
I am not sure what you are asking, but I will hazard a guess: Early in the moon's development, there was still volcanic activity going on (the moon is now volcanically quiet). Some of the early craters on the moon were overrun by lava flows, which partially filled the craters, and "softened" their edges and peaks. Those could be called "modified craters".

The Earth does have craters, but because of the seas and vegetation on land, they are not as noticeable. However there are some that are very noticeable, like the famous one in Arizona. Craters on Earth and the Moon are caused by impacts of meteorites.

No, Earth has some craters, but not as many because Earth has an atmosphere to destroy or smallen meteors, but the moon does not, so it is hit by meteors more3 often.
full of craters some of them very very large

Some of the mountains on the Moon appear to be natural formations. Unlike Earth, where wind and rain erode mountains and hillsides, the vacuum of the Moon keeps every feature pristine. The only things that affects the Lunar surface are meteors. Millions of meteor impact craters speckle the entire face of the Moon. Craters on craters IN craters; probably 3.5 billion years worth of lunar impact craters has made the Moon what we see today.
