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).

Why did scientist once think there were volcanoes in the moon?

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.
