What are the three main surfaces of the moon?

As the Moon is a globe, it has only one surface.


Why is it that the features on the Moon's surface are older than those observed on Earth?

Because the moon has no atmosphere and no liquid water on its surface, it has no weather and no life. Weather, and living things, both tend to change existing surface features. So, features don't last as long on the Earth as they do on the moon.


Has the Earth's moon's surface changed in the past three billion years?

Yes, the Earth's moon's surface has changed over the past three billion years due to impacts from asteroids and comets. These impacts have created craters, lava flows, and other geological features that modify the moon's surface over time.


What do the surface features and distribution on the Moon's surface tell about history?

The surface features and distribution on the Moon's surface provide clues about its geological history, including impact cratering, volcanic activity, and tectonic processes. By studying these features, scientists can infer the sequence of events that shaped the Moon over time, such as the formation of large impact basins and the eruption of lava flows. This information helps us understand the Moon's formation and evolution.


What can you see on the surface of the moon not looking through a telescope?

On the surface of the moon, you can see various features such as craters, mountains, plains, and dark areas known as maria. These features are visible to the naked eye, without the need for a telescope.
