They are maria.
Galileo called the dark flat parts on the moon "seas" or "maria" in Latin, although they are now known to be basaltic plains formed by ancient volcanic activity.
Maria, or "seas", which is what "maria" means.
The lunar 'seas' are flat plains made up of dried volcanic rock which were orignially lava when the moon was geologically active.
Broad flat lava plains on the moon are called maria. They were formed by volcanic activity in the past, where lava flowed and filled in large basins on the surface of the moon. The most famous example of a lunar mare is the Sea of Tranquility, where the Apollo 11 mission landed.
The dark areas that form the 'man in the moon' are large flat plains called maria and the brighter parts of the moon are the lunar highlands and the mountain ranges.
Terrae
The dry flat regions of lava on the moon are called maria. These are large dark plains formed by ancient volcanic eruptions filling in low-lying areas on the moon's surface.
The broad flat plains on the moon are called lunar maria. They are large dark areas on the moon's surface formed by ancient volcanic activity. Mare Tranquillitatis, Mare Imbrium, and Mare Serenitatis are some well-known lunar maria.
The broad flat lava plains on the moon are known as maria, which is Latin for seas. These plains were formed by extensive volcanic activity billions of years ago, and they appear dark due to their low reflectivity compared to the surrounding highlands. The most famous example of a lunar mare is the Sea of Tranquility, where the Apollo 11 mission landed in 1969.
the answer is C. plain this a large area (which we can all agree) and is flat.
The great plains is a very low, flat land that stretches for miles! It's so flat that you can feel that your almost in the middle of nowhere! XD >< <>

Plains typically have low relief, meaning they are relatively flat or gently sloping landforms with minimal variation in elevation.
Vast, flat, grassy.
Both are flat but plains are low and plateaus are raised
Low lying stretches of flat land are called plains. Plains are characterized by their relatively flat or gently rolling terrain with few hills or mountains. They are usually found at low elevations and can be ideal for agriculture and human settlement.
A region of flat land is called a plain. Plains are characterized by low elevation and relatively flat topography, making them ideal for agriculture and transportation.
