The Barringer Meteor Crater near Winslow, Arizona is still very distinct and visible, when other craters are worn away, for a couple of reasons.
1. Meteor Crater is relatively young; about 50,000 years old. The worst of the "intense early bombardment", when many of the Moon's craters were formed, was 3 BILLION years ago, and those early few eons used up most of the available rocks in near-Earth space. Those craters are mostly long gone.
2. Arizona is a desert, and has been since the end of the last ice age. There are few rainstorms, no floods, not a whole lot of natural erosion going on.
the craters on the moon were formed by meteors hitting the moon and the lunar lakes were formed by lava filling in the craters
There is no 'weather' on the moon - it has never rained or snowed there and there is no wind there because of it's lack of atmosphere. This is why the footprints left by the Apollo astronauts are still there. The only 'weather' you will experience on the moon is meteorites hitting the moon, forming craters.
The craters are formed because of rock and iron hitting the moons surface. When the rock and iron hit the earths surface damage is caused to trees, roads and that sort of thing.
c actually those are craters not holes and thier caused because of other objects hitting the moon
probberly when astroids hitting it or when it was cooling after come out of the earth it shaped that way- Adolf Dave Is Angry
Craters don't hit moons. Craters are the results of meteorites hitting moons.
Yes, the moon has millions of craters. This is because the moon doesn't have an atmosphere to prevent meteorites hitting the lunar surface.
Mercury has holes in it because of the impact of larger meteorites hitting into it. These holes are commonly scientifically referred to as impact craters.
They were created by meteors hitting the moon and making craters.
From meteorites hitting it.
The vast majority of lunar craters are caused by meteor impacts.
Not really. The moon has craters. The craters are caused by objects from space hitting it.
Hitting someones car.
Meteorites hitting the Earth.
by micro meteoroids hitting the moon
