something really big hits that area and makes a dent!
craters are depressions on the moon's surface caused by meteoric or asteroid impact. another theory is that it may have been caused by volcanic explosions but meteoric impacts are the major reason the craters.
A mare is a smooth, dark area on the surface of the moon. A crater is a huge hole caused by a meteor or meteorite. Hope that satisfies you! If not come back soon and i'll have another answer.
The craters on Mercury vary in age, but many of the larger ones probably formed during the Late Heavy Bombardment from 4.1 billion to 3.8 billion years ago. Many younger craters exist however and have formed throughout the planet's existence.

Yes, sometimes they did.

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.
Craters are formed by impacts from objects from space, such as meteorites.
Craters are formed when asteroids and comets collide with the lunar surface.
Uranus does not have any craters. It has no solid surface.
Meteor craters.
impact craters
Most craters are formed by the impacts of asteroids and comets. Some craters on volcanically active bodies are volcanic in origin.
There are a huge number of craters on the Earth, including very small impact sites. There are about 65 named and documented craters on the planet.
The face on mars, is formed by rocks and craters.
Two types of moon craters are impact craters, formed by asteroids or meteoroids hitting the moon's surface, and volcanic craters, formed by volcanic activity on the moon when magma rises to the surface and erupts.
