if you mean craters they got there from asteroids that hit the moons surface with a large impact
Flat regions of dry lava on the surface of the moon are called maria. They are large dark basins formed by ancient volcanic activity and are visible from Earth as dark areas on the lunar surface.
The dark-colored, relatively flat regions of the Moon's surface are called lunar maria. These maria were formed when basins on the Moon were filled with basaltic lava following impact events in the past.
The moon's gravitational pull creates tides on Earth's surface water. As the moon orbits, its gravitational force causes water to bulge out toward the moon, creating high tides. This effect is more noticeable in areas closer to the moon.
A new moon occurs when the moon is positioned between the Earth and the Sun, with the side of the moon illuminated by the Sun facing away from Earth. This alignment causes the side of the moon we see from Earth to be in shadow, making it appear as if there is no visible moon in the night sky.
During the first and third quarters of the moon, you will see roughly 50% of the dark side and 50% of the lit side from Earth. This is because the sun is illuminating half of the moon's surface that is facing away from Earth.
Dark spots on the moon during a lunar eclipse are caused by the Earth blocking direct sunlight from reaching the moon. These dark spots are the shadow of the Earth falling on the moon's surface, which gives the moon its reddish appearance during a total lunar eclipse.
The dark spots on the moon are called lunar maria, which are large plains formed by ancient volcanic activity. The lighter areas are called highlands, which are rugged and densely cratered regions of the moon's surface.
craters
The dark spots on the Moon's surface are called lunar maria, which are large basaltic plains created by ancient volcanic activity. These regions appear darker because they are composed of denser rock material compared to the surrounding lunar highlands. The smoother surface of the maria is a result of lava flows that filled in large impact basins on the Moon billions of years ago.
i think when the moon cooled down.
The moon is a sphere about one- seventh of the earth's size. It has dark spots and bright spots and craters.
well hahhahahahah he umm i dont know im only 9
The dark spots on the moon are called "maria," which is Latin for seas. They are actually large plains formed by ancient volcanic activity and appear darker than the surrounding lunar surface due to their basaltic composition.
The lighter parts on the moon are mountains and highlands. They are more visible as they are at higher elevations. The darker parts are lunar maria, basins cut out by ancient lava flows. They have less craters than the highlands, as the lunar maria were formed after the time period where the most lunar impacts occurred.
Reforming
They were created by meteors hitting the moon and making craters.
Galileo inferred that the moon has highlands by observing the variation in surface brightness and the presence of shadows and light patterns across the lunar surface through his telescope. These observations led him to propose that the moon's surface was not perfectly smooth and that there were elevated regions, which he referred to as the moon's "mountains" or highlands.
