The moon's surface is covered with dead volcanoes, impact craters, and lava flows, some visible to the unaided stargazer. ... They are oceans of a sort, but rather than water, such bodies are made up of pools of hardened lava.

Answer:

The moon's surface is covered by rocks and loose dirt which we call lunar soil. It is pockmarked with craters of different sizes because of meteorites that hit its surface.

Explanation:

Topographically, the Moon is very different from the Earth. The surface of the moon is characterized by heights and depressions, mountains and mainly craters (bull-shaped cavities of meteoric origin). These craters are often marked by secondary craters and material ejected from the meteor impact.

The dark regions of the moon, called maria, are lava-filled basins up to 1,000 kilometers in diameter. Maria are places where massive meteor showers occurred early in the Moon's history, which later filled with molten lava rising from the interior.

These maria are also the places of gravitational anomalies, or mascons, caused by the concentration of very dense material under the surface of the Moon. Maskon is found only on the near side (the side facing Earth) of the Moon, suggesting that the influence of Earth's gravity changed the trajectories of the impactors that produced these features.
