it doesn't happen on the moon ... there no wind , water or any thing else that causes erosion on the moon :)

Can both erosion and weathering occur on the moon or other planets?

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.


Do weathering erosion and deposition occur on the moon?

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.


What are 4 ways that erosion can occur?

Erosion can occur through water erosion (rivers, waves), wind erosion (blowing sand and soil), glacial erosion (movement of ice), and chemical erosion (dissolving of rocks by acids).


Will cause the erosion of rocks on the moon surface?

Erosion on the Moon's surface is primarily caused by micrometeorite impacts, solar wind, and thermal cycling. There is no significant erosion on the Moon due to factors like water, wind, or ice that play a major role in erosion processes on Earth.


Why is there very little weathering or erosion on the moon's surface?

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

Why does erosion not occur on the moon?

Erosion on Earth is largely driven by processes such as water, wind, and ice, which are absent on the Moon. The Moon lacks a significant atmosphere and flowing water to wear down its surface. Without these agents of erosion, the Moon's surface remains relatively unchanged over long periods of time.


Erosion does not occur on the moon like it does on Earth because the moon has no?

Air, water, wind, rain, weather, snow, etc. None of those.


Does the Moon have no atmosphere?

This is correct. The moon has no atmosphere. This fact, along with the fact that thus far, no evidence of water has been found on the moon, contributes to the reason why rock erosion does not occur on the moon.


Why there no rain in the surface of the moon?

Due to the Moon's low gravity, it cannot hold in an atmosphere, meaning it cannot have weather. This means erosion cannot occur, making craters, footsteps, etc. never disappear. It also means it cannot rain at all on the Moon.


Does the Moon have weathering or erosion?

No weather on Moon.


Why would you not find sedimentary rocks on the moon?

Sedimentary rocks are formed by the weathering, erosion and then deposition of the resultant clasts. Weathering and erosion do not occur on the moon (except to a limited extent due to the impact of meteorites but this material is not compacted so is a dust rather than a rock) so sedimentary rocks can't form.
