The Moon's dark areas are Craters where light from the Sun or light reflected from the Earth never reaches due to proximity to mountains or due to sheer depth. Many who think the Moon was separated from the Earth believe that in that distant past the Earth had corresponding mountains in places where the Moon had craters, which means those craters in the dark areas of the Moon were created neither through volcanic activity nor by the impact of meteor falls.
