How do mountains or craters on the surfaces of the earth and the moon compare with each other?
The biggest difference is the craters on the moon erode at a much slower rate. Here on earth, it takes a few thousand years for a crater to fill in and become not much more than a valley. On the moon, the craters last until ejecta from newer craters fills the holes of the older craters.
The mountains of the earth are covered with snow and below the timberline lie trees. There is no snow or trees on the moon. The mountains on the moon look a lot sharper and the rocks stand out because they're not covered in dust. The lunar mountains look much rounder and the entire surface of the moon is covered in a very thin layer of dust.
What else can I help you with?
Why have very old craters on the moon not be erased as similar craters on earth have been?
Unlike Earth, the moon does not have air, water, glaciers, or plate tectonics to erase craters. The only forces that significantly alter the moon's surfaces are impacts that form new craters.
Does the surface of moon and earth both have craters?
Yes, both the Moon and Earth have craters on their surfaces. The Moon's surface is covered with craters formed by impacts from space debris, while on Earth, craters are less common due to erosion and tectonic activity, but they can still be found in certain areas like meteorite impact sites or volcanic regions.
What feature can be found on the earth and the moon?
Both the Earth and the Moon have craters, which are depressions on the surface formed by impacts from asteroids or meteoroids. These craters can vary in size and shape, and can provide valuable information about the history of impacts on both celestial bodies.
What landforms do the moon and earth have in common?
Both the Moon and Earth have impact craters, mountains, and valleys. These landforms were created through similar geological processes, such as meteor impacts and tectonic activity. Additionally, both celestial bodies have flat plains formed by ancient lava flows.
Does Jupiter have any mountains or craters or rivers or etc?
Jupiter does not have a solid surface like Earth, so it does not have mountains or craters. Instead, it is a gas giant mostly made up of hydrogen and helium. It also does not have rivers or any liquid water on its surface.
Is mercury and the moon covered with craters on the surfaces?
Yes, Mercury and the Earth's moon are covered with craters on the surfaces
What are some variables that cause the uneven heating of Earth's surface?
There are multiple reasons for the earth's surface to be heated unevenly. The flat surfaces, waters, mountains, and craters, are all different things that can cause the earth to be heated unevenly.
What are some of the variables that causes uneven heating of earth surfacs?
There are multiple reasons for the earth's surface to be heated unevenly. The flat surfaces, waters, mountains, and craters, are all different things that can cause the earth to be heated unevenly.
What are some of the variables that cause uneven heating of the surface?
There are multiple reasons for the earth's surface to be heated unevenly. The flat surfaces, waters, mountains, and craters, are all different things that can cause the earth to be heated unevenly.
What are some of the variables that cause uneven heating of earthes surface?
There are multiple reasons for the earth's surface to be heated unevenly. The flat surfaces, waters, mountains, and craters, are all different things that can cause the earth to be heated unevenly.

Unlike Earth, the moon does not have air, water, glaciers, or plate tectonics to erase craters. The only forces that significantly alter the moon's surfaces are impacts that form new craters.
What type of land features do both the earth and the moon have?
Craters, mountains, valleys and plains.
What type of surface do terrestrial planets have?
Terrestrial planets have solid surfaces, consisting of rock and metal. These surfaces may have features such as mountains, valleys, and impact craters. Examples of terrestrial planets in our solar system include Earth, Mars, Venus, and Mercury.
Does the surface of moon and earth both have craters?
Yes, both the Moon and Earth have craters on their surfaces. The Moon's surface is covered with craters formed by impacts from space debris, while on Earth, craters are less common due to erosion and tectonic activity, but they can still be found in certain areas like meteorite impact sites or volcanic regions.
How bumpy are all the planets outside?
Only Mercury, Venus, Earth and Mars have solid surfaces, as well as various moons. The other planets are all gas giants. Pluto would be solid, but is no longer regarded as a planet. The different planets and moons that have solid surfaces also have hills, valleys, mountains, craters and plains like Earth.
Which landforms are found on earth NOT on the moon?
i have the same homework as you, but all i know is its not mountains (which is 'a') and its not impact craters (which is 'b')
What are some ways to compare the earth to the moon?
i guess you could say they both have craters, they both are terrestrial
