The craters, mountains, and valleys of the moon appear as different colored areas on the surface. The low, flat "seas" are dark and the higher mountains are light in color. That's what causes "the shapes" . . . however, there is a psychological phenomenon called pareidolia that involves vague and random images (or sounds) that are perceived to be significant.
Other examples of pareidolia include seeing images of animals or faces in clouds, or hearing something in a recording played backward . . . or even seeing religious icons in the stump of a tree or on a grilled cheese sandwich!

The shapes we see on the moon, like the "man on the moon," are the result of how light and shadows interact with the terrain and features on the lunar surface. These shapes are formed by the contrast between light and dark areas, creating patterns that our brains interpret as familiar shapes, like a man's face or figure.
