Why are some areas of the moon smooth with no craters?
... as compared to Earth, I suppose. On Earth, the weather will remove most traces of craters rather quickly, in a few million years for large craters, in a fraction of a million years for smaller craters.... as compared to Earth, I suppose.

What are the large holes on the moon called?
The large indentation on the surface of the moon areÊcalled craters. It is a circular depression in the surface of the moon and other solid body in the solar system.Ê
Why can we see the craters of the moon so clearly from earth?
We can see the craters of the moon clearly from Earth because the moon has no atmosphere to erode them, so they remain preserved. When the sun shines on the moon's surface at an angle, it creates long shadows that make the craters stand out more prominently, enhancing their visibility from Earth.
Why are there fewer large impact craters on the Earth's seafloor than on the continents?
The Earth's seafloor is constantly being renewed through processes like subduction and seafloor spreading, which can erase evidence of large impact craters over time. Additionally, water covers about 70% of the Earth's surface, increasing the likelihood of impacts occurring in the oceans rather than on land. As a result, large impact craters on the seafloor may be less visible or have been obscured by geological processes.
What created the large craters you we see on the moon?
The theory is that these are impact craters of meteors.
Huge craters formed when a large meteor hit earth?
Yes, sometimes they did.

Who has more craters the earth or the moon?
there are more craters on the moon then on earth
What are the large holes on the moon called?
The large indentation on the surface of the moon areÊcalled craters. It is a circular depression in the surface of the moon and other solid body in the solar system.Ê
Do craters cover most of the Earth?
No. Earth has relatively few impacts craters.

How do you describe the main differences and similarities between moon rocks and earth rocks?
Moon rocks are unique in that they have tiny craters, and even tinier craters within those tiny craters. And within those tiny craters within the tiny craters are even tinier craters. This is due to micrometers which do not reach the earth's surface. It's also a result of large meteors splattering small pieces of moon regolith as secondary meteors. None of this is possible on earth. The similarity between moon rocks and earth rocks is that they are basically feldspars and basalt, the same thing that makes up the earth's crust.
Does earth have volcanoes craters rings valleys?
Earth has volcanoes, craters, and valleys but not rings.
Were the earth's craters caused by earthquakes?
Earth's craters have been created by Meteorites and Volcanoes.
Are there more craters on the far side of the moon to protect the telescope then on near side?
Both sides of the moon are pocked with craters, but the far side tends to have more large, basin-sized craters. These large craters can provide shielding from disruptive signals from Earth, making it an ideal location for telescope installations aimed at observing deep space.
Is mercury covered with craters molten iron or oceans?
Mercury is covered with impact craters, similar to Earth's moon. It also has a large iron core, which creates a magnetic field. There is no evidence of oceans on Mercury due to its extreme temperatures.
What does the formation of a crater follow?
There are craters formed by asteroids crashing into Earth. There are craters formed by volcanic explosions. There are craters formed by collapses in the Earth's crust.
