The dark areas on the Moon's surface are called maria. The maria cover only 15 percent of the lunar surface. The Maria are lower in altitude than the Highlands, but there is no water on the Moon so they are not literally seas. Mare Imbrium or the Sea of Showers is the largest mare at 700 miles in diameter.
