What shapes are the lunar craters?
Polyhedrons
What caused the shapes on the moon?
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! - Kanaan Yarahuan
Is there a map of lunar craters?
Yes, there are detailed maps of lunar craters available. Scientists and organizations like NASA have created high-resolution maps of the Moon's surface, including its craters, using data from spacecraft missions. These maps provide valuable information for lunar exploration and research.
Are lunar mares younger than the craters that sit in them?
Yes, lunar mares are younger than the craters that formed in them. Lunar mares are vast, flat areas filled with solidified lava flows, while craters are formed by impacts from meteoroids. The dark-colored mare areas are generally younger because they filled in older, pre-existing craters.
What is the origin of the majority of lunar craters?
The majority of lunar craters are thought to be formed from impacts by asteroids or comets. These impacts create depressions on the Moon's surface, resulting in the variety of craters we see today.
What shapes are the lunar craters?
Polyhedrons
What shapes are most craters?
Most lunar craters are circular. It takes a very unusual shallow (or grazing) impact to make a crater that is not circular.
Are most lunar craters that are formed by erosion caused by glaciers?
Most lunar craters are impact craters caused by incoming meteors and asteroids. Since our moon has no atmosphere there can be no glaciers or erosion.
Lunar rays are apparently the same age as lunar craters?
craters... :)

What is the result of lunar craters?
it is a result of an asteroid impact
Lunar craters that are relatively young exhibit?
Young lunar craters exhibit many features, but the most prominent is "rays". These are streaks of light colored debris that spread radially outward from the impact crater. The Tycho Crater is the classic example.
Why are four craters formed on the moon weekly?
Craters are formed when asteroids and comets collide with the lunar surface.
How long do lunar craters last?
Lunar craters can last for billions of years, as they are formed by impacts from meteors and asteroids which are infrequent occurrences. The lack of weathering and erosion on the Moon preserves these craters for extended periods of time.
