How were craters on the moon formed?
Craters on the moon were mostly formed by impacts from meteoroids and asteroids colliding with the moon's surface. When these objects traveling at high speeds hit the moon, they create craters by excavating material from the lunar surface. Some craters may also have been caused by volcanic activity early in the moon's history.
True or false carters are holes or circles on the surface of the moon?
The circles visible on the surface of the moon are indeed craters made by the impact of bodies from space.
Is it true or false that maria are larger than most craters?
False. Most craters on Earth are larger than Maria, which are large, dark, basaltic plains on the Moon. Craters can range in size from a few meters to hundreds of kilometers in diameter, making them generally larger than Maria.
Is it true that there are no polar caps on the moon?
That's correct. Unlike Earth, the moon does not have a significant atmosphere to support the formation of polar ice caps. While there may be pockets of ice hidden in deep craters at the lunar poles, they are not large enough to be considered polar caps.
What is the name for the dark spots on the Moon?
The dark areas on the Moon are called lunar mare. its actually called MARIA PLEASE COMMENT
What is a true statement about the moon?
The moon is Earth's natural satellite, orbiting around our planet. It has a significant influence on Earth's tides due to its gravitational force. The moon's surface is covered in impact craters and lava plains, and it has no atmosphere.
The Characteristic shape of lunar craters is evidence that?
All impact craters are circular, no matter what the shape of the impactor or the angle of impact. Of the options provided in the Discussion page, only choice "B" is accurate. The energy released in the impact melted the impactor - and the surface - to the point of being fluid, or at least malleable. Option "D", that the craters were formed early in the Moon's history, is probably also true, but the circular shape of the craters isn't dependent on this.
Is it true that there are many craters on the moon's surface?
yes there are many craters in the moons surface. asteroids in space or from the asteroid belt come off and hit the moons but mostly other planets. this happened more frequently back in the dinosaurs time... which is one of the claimed reasons why the dinosaurs became extinct.
Why is the moons craters perfectly preserved?
They are not. While it is true that there are none of the common "weathering" factors here on Earth (such as rain or wind or volcanic action), old craters are routinely hammered down with new meteoroid strikes, or with the dust-making erosion of the continual expansion and contraction cycles that happen every month.
Why is it easier for space objects to hit the moon and make a crater than it is for the same space object to hit the earth and make a crater?
It's not. In fact, the converse is true; the Earth is both a bigger target and has a stronger gravitational field. However, the Earth has a significant atmosphere, and thus weathering, so craters on the Moon tend to last much, much longer than craters on the Earth. The fact that Earth is geologically active and has life also shorten the length of time that craters remain visible and recognizable.
True or false craters on mercury surface are eroded only very slow this planet has a sulfuric acid atmosphere?
False. Craters are not eroded on Mercury, which has no atmosphere.
Is charon a true moon?
Yes, Charon is a true moon.
