Round depressions on the Moon are primarily impact craters, formed when meteoroids, asteroids, or comets collide with the lunar surface at high speeds. These impacts create circular pits, varying in size, with raised rims and sometimes central peaks. Over billions of years, the Moon's surface has accumulated numerous craters due to the lack of atmosphere and geological activity that would otherwise erode them. Some depressions may also be volcanic in origin, known as lava pits or calderas.
A crater.
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.
Large depressions on the moon are called craters. These are formed by the impact of meteoroids, asteroids, or comets hitting the moon's surface.
Depressions on the Moon formed by large meteorites are called impact craters. They are created when a meteorite collides with the Moon's surface, causing material to be ejected and forming a crater.
Depressions on the Moon's surface, often referred to as "mascons" or "maria," are large, flat areas formed by ancient volcanic activity and impact cratering. These features are characterized by their lower elevation compared to the surrounding highlands and are typically filled with basaltic lava. During a lunar eclipse, the Earth's shadow can cast a dark hue over these depressions, making them more visually prominent against the lighter highlands. Overall, these depressions provide important insights into the Moon's geological history and formation.

Crators? If that's what you mean by circular depression.
