Besides the basaltic and other lava formed mineral samples brought back from the Apollo lunar landings and the Soviet sample return missions, direction observation of the maria regions of lava flows, domes and volcano structures such as riles, wrinkle ridges, and crater flooding.
What else can I help you with?
Does the moon have volcanoes but no volcanic activity?
Yes, the moon does have volcanoes, but they are practically dead. They have no volcanic activity.
Why does the moon have little water?
Because there is no active volcanic activity on the moon. For a planet or moon to develop water, it needs to have active volcanic activity. The steam from erupting volcanoes creates an atmosphere and condensation which, over millions of years, creates oceans. We know the moon had active volcanic activity millions of years ago, because there are pockets of ice on the moon. However, volcanic activity on the moon is now non-existent, therefore, no more water can be produced from volcanic steam.
Could lava appear on the moon?
Lava in the form of basaltic volcanic eruptions did occur on the Moon in the past, particularly during the Moon's volcanic activity between 3 billion and 1 billion years ago. These eruptions created large, flat plains known as lunar maria. However, the Moon is currently geologically inactive, and there is no evidence of ongoing volcanic activity, so fresh lava is not expected to appear on the Moon today.
What moon has volcanic activity and water?
Jupiters Moons
What has active volcanoes venus mars Triton earths moon?
Venus is known to have active volcanoes, evidenced by lava flows and volcanic structures on its surface. Mars has extinct volcanoes, but there is no current activity. Triton, a moon of Neptune, also shows evidence of past volcanic activity. Earth's moon had active volcanoes in the past, but they are now dormant.
How do scientists know that the moon was once geologically active?
Scientists know that the moon was once geologically active because it has features such as volcanic plains, volcanic structures, and lava tubes. These features suggest past volcanic activity and tectonic processes. Additionally, moon rocks collected during the Apollo missions show evidence of volcanic activity.
What do scientists think has caused the volcanic activity on the moon?
because....
Is Saturn volcanically active?
There is no confirmed evidence of volcanic activity on the planet Saturn. There has however been evidence of volcanic activity on the moon of Enceladus, which belongs to Saturn.
Where in the Solar System does volcanic activity take place?
Volcanic activity is known to occur on Earth, Mars, Venus, and Io, a moon of Jupiter. These locations have evidence of active volcanoes or past volcanic activity.
Do other planets have volcano eruptions?
There is some evidence of volcanic activity on Venus, but no conclusive evidence of any recent eruptions. In addition, Io, a moon of Jupiter has an extremely high rate of volcanic activity. Titan, a moon of Saturn, is believed to have volcanoes as well.
Does the moon have volcanoes but no volcanic activity?
Yes, the moon does have volcanoes, but they are practically dead. They have no volcanic activity.
Did the moon ever have lava?
Yes, the moon did have lava. Early in its history, the moon experienced volcanic activity that led to the formation of large basaltic plains called "maria." These maria are visible on the moon's surface today and are evidence of past volcanic activity.
What did scientists learn by studying the rocks astronauts brought back from the moon?
Scientists learned important information about the moon's formation, history, and composition by studying the rocks brought back by astronauts. They found that the moon is much older than previously thought, provided evidence of past volcanic activity, and discovered similarities between moon rocks and certain rocks on Earth.
What is Jupiter moon covered with?
volcanic activity

What planets show evidence of heavy volcanic activity?
Mars, Earth and Venus, certainly; the tallest volcano in the solar system is on Mars. And Jupiter's moon Io may be the most active body in the solar system when it comes to volcanoes; some of the eruptions go into space!
