Question
- what causes the moon to have craters?
craters are caused by lava flows billions of years ago.
craters are caused by running water that was present billions of years ago of the moons surface.
craters are caused by meteoroids crashing into the moon.
craters are caused by human activity on the moons surface.
Lunar craters form primarily from the impact of meteoroids, asteroids, and comets colliding with the Moon's surface over billions of years. Lava flows created lunar maria, not craters; the Moon never had long-term running water on its surface; and human activity on the Moon has been extremely limited and did not create the vast majority of craters.
