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.
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.
Craters on the moon were mostly formed by impacts from meteoroids and asteroids colliding with the moon's surface. When these objects traveling at high speeds hit the moon, they create craters by excavating material from the lunar surface. Some craters may also have been caused by volcanic activity early in the moon's history.
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.
They are formed by asteroids and meteorites crashing into the surface of the moon
The large indentation on the surface of the moon areÊcalled craters. It is a circular depression in the surface of the moon and other solid body in the solar system.Ê
The depressions on the Moon's surface are called craters. They are formed by the impact of meteoroids, asteroids, or comets hitting the Moon's surface.
The holes in the moon are called craters. To find the name of famous moon craters go to wikipedia.
Impact craters.
The dents on the moon are actually impact craters formed by meteoroids colliding with its surface. These craters have accumulated over billions of years and give the moon its characteristic rugged appearance.
