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.
something really big hits that area and makes a dent!
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.
Lunar poles:data from Lunar Prospector indicated the presence of large quantities of water in craters at lunar poles :)
The ray systems correspond to the craters produced at the same time. Some ray systems on the Moon are from older craters that have since been overlaid by subsequent impacts in the same area.
The planet Mercury looks like our moon. The surface is covered with craters and has a thick iron core.
the craters on the moon were formed by meteors hitting the moon and the lunar lakes were formed by lava filling in the craters
The moon's craters are impact craters, formed by collisions of interplanetary debris (asteroids, comets, etc.) with the surface of the moon.
Craters on the moon were formed when meteorites crashed into the moons surface at unimaginable speeds. so true :P
The craters on the moon were formed by the impacts of asteroids and comets.
Craters are formed when asteroids and comets collide with the lunar surface.
The depressions on the moon are impact craters formed by collisions with asteroids and comets.
Craters on the Moon are formed by the impacts of meteoroids of varying sizes. Small rocks make small craters, and bigger rocks make larger craters.
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
They are formed by asteroids and meteorites crashing into the surface of the moon
The vast majority of lunar craters are caused by meteor impacts.
Impact craters.
They are actually called craters, they were formed by asteroids colliding with the moon.
