Well, honey, those craters come from impacts by asteroids and meteoroids that just couldn't resist breaking in unannounced. They leave those craters all over the moon's surface, giving it that texture of a Golf ball that Dracula might have taken a swing at. The impact of these craters helps scientists understand the history of our cosmic neighborhood and gives the moon character – like beauty marks on a model...if you're into that sort of thing.

Where do craters occur?

Impact craters occur where objects impact on a solid surface.


When objects hit the moon they created craters or?

Why are there no impact craters on the surface of lo?

Io, one of Jupiter's moons, does not have many impact craters on its surface because its surface is constantly being resurfaced by volcanic activity. The geologically active nature of Io means that the lava flows and volcanic eruptions continuously erase any impact craters that may form on its surface.

What causes the craters in your moons surface?

The moon looks like a big ball of cheese with holes, these holes are called craters. They are impact craters-the remains of collisions between an asteroid, comet, or meteorite and the Moon. I searched this, and may this help you answer and may God be with you and bless you. ^_^


What are the moons craters called?

The craters on moons are simply called craters. They are formed by impact events from asteroids, comets, or meteoroids striking the surface of the moon.


What are the depressions in the moon called?

The depressions on the Moon's surface are called craters. They are formed by the impact of meteoroids, asteroids, or comets hitting the Moon's surface.


How do crates form on the moon?

By the impact of meteorites. There is no atmosphere on the Moon, so no weathering to wear /erode the craters. But for the atmosphere on Earth, weathering the surface, and the activity of man, the Earth there would also be plenty of visible craters on Earth.
