The reason that this was that it was once the only thing that scientists could use to explain why the moon had so many craters on it (which we now know to be the product of meteorite and asteroid collisions).
Scientists once believed there were volcanoes on the Moon due to the presence of features resembling volcanic formations, such as large, smooth plains called maria, which were interpreted as ancient lava flows. Observations of the Moon's surface, including its irregular topography and the presence of certain geological features, led to hypotheses about volcanic activity. Additionally, the lack of significant erosion suggested that these features might be relatively young, supporting the idea of past volcanism. However, further studies revealed that these formations were primarily the result of impact cratering rather than volcanic processes.
mars. now tell me why they think that?
Submarine mountains that were once active volcanoes are called seamounts.
Geologists think seamounts are extinct volcanoes because they have a conical shape and evidence of volcanic activity such as lava flows and volcanic rock formations. Additionally, seamounts are often found in areas with active volcanism, suggesting they may have been formed by volcanic processes in the past.
dormant, either in cative or only a few more times
The Apollo evidence was that there WERE volcanoes on the moon.
your mumma bent over

The rocks were similar to rocks formed by volcanoes on Earth, suggesting that vast oceans of molten lava once covered the moon's surface.
they think it was once part of the earth and then somehow was hit and broke away from us, but staying in our gravitational pull...
Pluto is not a moon of anything; it is a dwarf planet. Scientists used to think that Pluto may have once been a moon of Neptune, but later studies showed that it could not be so due to the nature of Pluto's orbit.

yes I think they will
The nMoon was once a part of the Earth, so it is the same age as the earth.
how do scientists know that the moons suface once was very hot?
An unlimited amount of volcanoes can erupt at once
Usually the first two and the last two letters are blue, making it "once in a blue moon"
