The Maria on the moon was formed from lava/magma.
Maria, or "seas", which is what "maria" means.
Maria on the moon are large, dark, basaltic plains formed from ancient volcanic eruptions. They are composed primarily of basalt, a type of volcanic rock rich in iron and magnesium. The maria are distinct from the lighter colored highlands on the moon's surface.
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.
There are Five Oceans and Seven Seas, all aquatic- unlike the Maria on the Moon which are dry lakes- no water on this sub-planet.
The maria's on the moon were formed by meteors slamming into it.
Our Moon's maria are currently believed to have been formed by ancient volcanic eruptions.

The maria (Latin: "seas", singular "mare") are dark areas of the moon that were formed by ancient dark lava flowsAny of the large, low-lying dark areas on the Moon or on Mars or other inner planets.The lunar maria are believed to consist of volcanic basalts.
Low altitude areas on the moon are called maria, which are large dark plains formed by ancient volcanic activity. The maria are located on the side of the moon that faces Earth.
The dark features on the moon are called maria, which are large plains formed by ancient volcanic eruptions. They appear dark because they consist of basaltic rock, which is darker in color compared to the surrounding highlands on the moon.
