How many impacts craters and basins have been found on earth?

Earth Impact Database, a website concerned with over 170 scientifically-confirmed impact craters on Earth.


What is the surface of Mercury covered with?

Craters, mostly. The new Messenger photos of Mercury from just last week show craters on craters, and chains of craters. It looks a lot like the Moon, actually. You can see some photos of Mercury at the link below.


What are ocean basins and how do they contribute to the Earth's overall geography and ecosystem?

Ocean basins are large depressions on the Earth's surface that are filled with seawater. They play a crucial role in shaping the Earth's geography by covering about 70 of the planet's surface. Ocean basins also influence the climate, weather patterns, and biodiversity of the planet, making them essential components of the Earth's ecosystem.


In which layer do you see mountains and ocean basins?

Mountains and ocean basins are typically found in the Earth's lithosphere, which is the outermost layer of the Earth. Mountains are formed through tectonic processes like plate collisions, while ocean basins are created through processes like seafloor spreading.


Why does earth have so few visible craters?

Earth is a 'living' planet; its surface is always being changed by the processes of erosion and geological action. Those craters that still remain are either too big to be noticed specifically as craters without the right perspective or, as noted in the question, so few in number that they are a major rarity.

Who has more craters the earth or the moon?

there are more craters on the moon then on earth


Do craters cover most of the Earth?

No. Earth has relatively few impacts craters.


Why are some areas of the moon smooth with no craters?

... as compared to Earth, I suppose. On Earth, the weather will remove most traces of craters rather quickly, in a few million years for large craters, in a fraction of a million years for smaller craters.... as compared to Earth, I suppose.

Earth has volcanoes, craters, and valleys but not rings.


Were the earth's craters caused by earthquakes?

Earth's craters have been created by Meteorites and Volcanoes.


What landforms does the moon have that earth doesn't have?

Some landforms found on the moon that Earth does not have include impact craters of various sizes, such as lunar mare basins and rays, formed by meteoroid impacts. Additionally, the moon features lava tubes and rilles, which are long, deep valleys formed by ancient volcanic activity.


When objects hit the moon they created craters or?

When objects hit the moon, they create craters due to the impact of the collision. The energy from the impact causes the surface material to be displaced and ejected, leaving behind a depression in the surface known as a crater.


What does the formation of a crater follow?

There are craters formed by asteroids crashing into Earth. There are craters formed by volcanic explosions. There are craters formed by collapses in the Earth's crust.
