Covered with craters made by meteorites?

The surface is pockmarked with craters formed by impacts from meteorites. These craters vary in size and depth, providing a record of the history of impacts on the surface. Over time, the ongoing formation of craters shapes the landscape of the area.


What planet is covered with craters made by meteorites?

The planet covered with craters made by meteorites is Mercury. Its lack of an atmosphere to protect it from impacts has allowed billions of years of meteorite bombardment to create a heavily cratered surface.


Name the three kinds of features that Galileo saw on the Moon's surface?

Craters. Mountainous areas. Also, the dark areas called "maria" are very prominent, mainly on the side of the Moon facing Earth. The whole surface is covered in broken rock and dust. That's why astronauts left footprints.


What planet is covered with craters cut through by cliffs?

Mercury is the planet that is covered with craters cut through by cliffs. Its surface is rugged and scarred with impact craters caused by collisions with asteroids and comets. The planet's cliffs, such as the prominent of its kind called "Great cliffs," are thought to have formed as a result of the planet's shrinking due to cooling.

What percentage of the moon is covered in maria?

The dark areas on the Moon's surface are called maria. The maria cover only 15 percent of the lunar surface. The Maria are lower in altitude than the Highlands, but there is no water on the Moon so they are not literally seas. Mare Imbrium or the Sea of Showers is the largest mare at 700 miles in diameter.
