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
What are potholes called on the moon?
craters
What are two types of moon craters?
Two types of moon craters are impact craters, formed by asteroids or meteoroids hitting the moon's surface, and volcanic craters, formed by volcanic activity on the moon when magma rises to the surface and erupts.
Why are there two craters on the far side of the moon?
There can be craters anywhere on the moon, not just the side we see
What are the dents in the moon?
The dents on the moon are actually impact craters formed by meteoroids colliding with its surface. These craters have accumulated over billions of years and give the moon its characteristic rugged appearance.
Why does the moon still have many craters when the Earth does not?
Craters tend to disappear on the Earth because of erosion caused by weather, and because of earthquakes. The moon has no air and therefore has no weather, and it also is not tectonically active.
Why do you see several impact craters on the earth but few on the moon?
There are relatively few craters identified on the surface of the Earth while there are thousands (millions) on the moon. It is hard to find one point on the moon that is not in one crater and there are craters in craters in craters. (See images in related link for Moon.) Obviously, the major reason behind this is that the craters that formed on the Earth eroded over time due to wind, rain and other natural factors which are nearly absent on the moon. Thus Earth's craters disappear over millions of years while the craters on the moon remain for billions of years. (The primary way a crater is made to disappear from the surface of the moon is by having another impact crater formed and the dust and debris from later impacts disturb or destroy or cover the original crater.)
What cause the Moon's craters?
The craters on the Moon are considered to be impact craters, caused by meteoroids striking the Moon.
How many craters are in the moon.?
There are 375 craters in the moon.....
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
Who has more craters the earth or the moon?
there are more craters on the moon then on earth
Where is moon craters?
On the Moon.
How does the moon get craters?
The moon gets craters from meteor's that hit it's surface
Do the craters cause more gravity on the moon?
No. The craters on the moon do not affect its gravity.
What were the moon craters created by?
the moon craters were created by asteroids and meteors. shocking!
What are potholes called on the moon?
craters
Was there any craters on the moon?
Yes, there are craters on the Moon. Any planet with a solid surface and not too much of an atmosphere will have craters.
