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.
How does a mare differ from a crater?

When was mercury formed?
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.
What are the large holes that cover mercury?
craters

Does Saturn have craters if so how do they form?
Saturn does not have craters. Craters are formed when one solid object crashes into another, much larger, solid object and gouges out a hole, which is called a crater. Saturn is essentially a huge ball of gas, so it cannot have craters. Craters are also formed when volcanoes explode. Because Saturn is essentially a big ball of gas it is not known to have volcanoes.
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.
How are craters formed on moons or planets?
Craters are formed by impacts from objects from space, such as meteorites.
How were craters formed on Phobos and Deimos?
craters are formed on these moons the same way they were formed on our moon. asteroids randomly collided with the moons creating the craters hope this helps -seagate0606
Why are four craters formed on the moon weekly?

What geological features are formed by craters as a result of impact?
Meteor craters.
How were craters on the moon formed?
Craters on the moon were formed when meteorites crashed into the moons surface at unimaginable speeds. so true :P
What is formed by meteorites?
impact craters
How are crates on the moon made?
the craters on the moon were formed by meteors hitting the moon and the lunar lakes were formed by lava filling in the craters
