The technological term for these foreign "Shapes" are "Lunar Craters"

Lunar Crates are created or developed by the moons lack of 3 mandatory characteristics for a planet to have life:

- Atmosphere

- Water/Life preserving liquid

- And tectonic plates

This leads to erosion that ranges from being Major or Minor in certain situations.

This means little bits of the moon erode.

Lunar Craters are fully eroded after 25,000 or so years.

Hope this helped!
