Maria is a bunch of Basaltic material (which is igneous rock) that came together on the moon. It formed when the moon cooled. People used to think that the dark spots (maria) on the moon were oceans.
The presence of maria on the Moon's surface indicates that those areas were formed by ancient volcanic activity. They are characterized by smoother, darker plains and are believed to have been created by lava flows millions of years ago.
The feature covering much of the moon's surface is the lunar mare, which are large dark plains formed by ancient volcanic activity. These mare areas are less cratered compared to the highlands and are thought to be composed of basalt rock.
Craters are formed when space debris collides with a body such as a planet or a moon, material is ejected to form a large cavity on the surface. Maria is the name of the dark areas on the moons surface, originally thought to be seas, but is now known to be ancient lava plains.
Terrae are large, light-colored highland areas on the surface of planets or moons, such as Mars or the Moon. These regions are typically older and more heavily cratered than the smoother areas, known as maria, and may have been formed by ancient volcanic activity or impacts.

The moons surface is covered with regolith. There are 2 main kinds of surface; maria and highlands. There are lots of craters and dust. the moons sky is always black.it has no air or water
craters
the trench like areas on the moons surface are called craters
Maria are large, dark, basaltic plains on the Moon's surface that were formed by ancient volcanic activity. They are made up of solidified lava flows and are relatively flat compared to the rugged highlands that make up the rest of the lunar surface.

The Lunar plains are referred to as Maria (Latin for seas .) because ancient observers thought them to be water like Earth's own oceans .
They are call Maria ( Latin for "seas" ).
