What else can I help you with?
Large craters found on earth support the hypothesis that impact events have caused?
mass extinction events throughout history. These craters provide evidence of the catastrophic effects of asteroid or comet impacts on the Earth's surface, leading to significant environmental changes and extinction events. Scientists study these craters to better understand the impact events and their potential implications for future planetary protection.
What covers the majority of the moon surface?
The answer, my friend, is simple. It's Earth. Most scientists believe that a giant asteroid hit Earth when it was forming, and a chunk of Earth flew into space making our beloved moon. - All joking aside, I'm not kidding. :)
Does the surface of moon and earth both have craters?
Yes, both the Moon and Earth have craters on their surfaces. The Moon's surface is covered with craters formed by impacts from space debris, while on Earth, craters are less common due to erosion and tectonic activity, but they can still be found in certain areas like meteorite impact sites or volcanic regions.
What did scientists find out about the the moon from the Apollo mission?
Scientists learned that the moon has no atmosphere, has a relatively thin crust compared to Earth, and its surface is covered in impact craters. They also found evidence of water ice in permanently shadowed regions near the lunar poles.
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
How many impact craters and basins have been found it on earth?
Earth Impact Database, a website concerned with over 170 scientifically-confirmed impact craters on Earth.

Which landforms are found on earth NOT on the moon?
i have the same homework as you, but all i know is its not mountains (which is 'a') and its not impact craters (which is 'b')

Which country was the biggest crator found in?
in which country did the biggest meteorite hit The biggest craters can be found in Canada, in the Canadian shield. However the evidence of the biggest impact is in Mexico at the tip of the Yucatan Peninsula.
Are the craters on Mercury called ray craters?
Not necessarily. A ray crater is in impact crater that has tapering lines of light-volored material extening outward. Ray craters can found on Mercury and other objects such as the moon, but most of these craters are not ray craters.
This is rarely found on earth because earths surface is constantly changing?
Meteorite craters.
Why are the lunar mountains semi-circular instead of linear like the Earth's?
I think its because the lunar mountains are associated with the large circular impact craters found on the moon, whereas on earth we have plate tectonics that from our mountains on the linear plate boundaries.
