No, not at all.
The Plato crater was formed before lava flowed into the Mare Imbrium. Plato crater is a impact crater, while lava flows are a result of volcanic activity. The lava flows in Mare Imbrium are believed to have occurred after the impact event that formed the Plato crater.
Mare Ingenii, the Sea of Cleverness.
Crater Tycho was formed first. It was created around 109 million years ago, during the period of the Moon's history known as the Copernican era. Mare Nubium, a lunar mare or plain, formed later as a result of volcanic activity around 3.9 billion years ago during the Imbrian era.
A lunar mare is Latin for sea. The dark and relatively featureless lunar plains are called seas, because ancient observers thought they contained water. Hence why they are called "seas".
Mare Imbrium, Latin for "Sea of Showers" or "Sea of Rains", is a vast lunar mare. It was created when lava flooded a giant crater that formed when a massive object hit the Moon.See realted link for more information.
The craters on the Moon's maria can vary in size, but some can be several kilometers in diameter. The largest known crater on a lunar mare is the Orientale Basin, which is about 930 kilometers in diameter.
No. Copernicus crater is an impact crater.
I think you're asking about the moon's "mares," which are broad, relatively smooth plains on the lunar surface. The word "mare" is Latin for sea, which is what early astronomers mistook the plains for.
the Apollo 1 rocket didn't flew. A fire inside the cockpit killed the three astronauts at ignition.
