because there is no weather on the moon. there's no air, no water, no life whatsoever. the only cause of surface changes on the moon are meteors and astronauts
Yes, the average rate of erosion on the Moon is far less than on Earth because the Moon has a much thinner atmosphere and lacks significant weathering processes like wind and water erosion that are prevalent on Earth. The lack of an atmosphere on the Moon means that there is no protection from impacts by meteoroids and solar wind erosion, which are the main drivers of erosion on the Moon.
Because there is No GRAVITY! Well... yes and no... Yes: Solar wind erodes the lunar surface but the effect is almost unnoticeable. No: The moon has no atmosphere so there's no weather to cause 'typical' erosion. Because there isn't Gravity
Moon rocks indicate there is no atmosphere on the moon. They lack weathering and erosion features typically found on rocks exposed to Earth's atmosphere. Additionally, the lack of wind and water on the moon further supports the conclusion that there is no atmosphere.
Not like on Earth. The moon has no atmosphere, so there is no wind or air at all to cause erosion. However, the moon is bombarded with objects in space that normally would burn up in our atmosphere, resulting in all of the craters that can be seen from the Earth.
The moon's craters were formed by impacts from asteroids and meteoroids over billions of years. Unlike Earth, the moon doesn't have an atmosphere to protect it from these collisions, so its surface is more vulnerable to impact cratering. The craters have been preserved because there is no weathering or erosion on the moon to erase them.
No weather on Moon.
No because there is no wind or water on the moon
Can't happen. Weathering takes air in motion (wind), and erosion takes water in motion, and there's none of either on the moon.
Erosion and weathering are processes that can occur on the Moon and other planets with atmospheres. On bodies without an atmosphere like the Moon, other processes like micrometeoroid impacts and solar wind can cause surface modifications that are analogous to erosion and weathering.
There is deposition - from the impact of meteors colliding with the moon.
Meteoroid impacts and solar wind are main causes of weathering on the moon. Erosion on the moon is primarily driven by micrometeoroid bombardment and the effects of solar radiation. The lack of atmosphere and water on the moon means that traditional weathering processes like wind and water erosion seen on Earth are absent.
Because the moon has neither liquid water or an atmosphere on its surface, there is very little weathering or erosion. Any weathering or erosion that does place is caused by repeated meteorite impacts, which break up and scatter the rocks and dust on the Moon's surface.
Because the moon has no light, atmosphere, and clouds to cause weathering or erosion.
Sunlight
Weathering and erosion do not occur on the Moon due to lack of atmosphere and liquid water. However, there is some deposition due to impact events from meteoroids and micrometeoroids that create craters and affect the surface.
Erosion is when..................................................................................................................................................and weathering is when......................................................................................................!
This is mainly because there is little or no atmosphere. Most agents of erosion cannot act in the environment as it is too cold too. Wind cannot act as there is little gas to be moved; rivers cannot exist as it is too cold, and then you must consider that the water cycle is essential for rivers to be generated; there are no oceans on the moon; there are no surface glaciers on the moon. Therefore, the moon has little or no erosion or, indeed, weathering, as this would require an atmosphere
