define the main features of the Moon
Answers
Answer:
The Moon lacks water and an atmosphere. ... CRATERS - These roughly circular depression in the surface formed when meteoroids struck the Moon at high speeds. The Moon's surface has hundreds of thousands of craters. The craters can be large (hundreds of kilometers) to as small as one meter.
Answer:
The features of the moon are -
MARE or "SEAS" - These are relatively smooth, dark, and large areas that are filled with lava. The mare formed when the craters formed by large asteroid impacts were filled by lava. Most mare are more than 3 billion years in age. They can be easily seen on the Moon using a telescope from Earth
MOUNTAINS AND MOUNTAIN RANGES - The Moon’s mountains are large, rounded "bumps," which look much like old, eroded mountain ranges on Earth. The Moon’s mountains are even older than the mare, dating back as far as 4.4 billion years.
CRATERS - These roughly circular depression in the surface formed when meteoroids struck the Moon at high speeds. The Moon’s surface has hundreds of thousands of craters. The craters can be large (hundreds of kilometers) to as small as one meter.
RAYS - Rays are bright streaks of debris that radiate from some large craters. They may be as long as 3000 km.
RILLS - These are cracks in the surface of the Moon, probably produced by moving of the surface similar to faulting on the Earth.
