Question

Is the surface of a moon is impacted by meteroits at a constant rate, the density, or quantity per unit of area, of impact craters on the moons surface will increase over time. How can this information be used to determine the reletaive age of a moons surface?

Answer 1

Answer:

The face of the Moon turned toward us is termed the near side (image at right). It is divided into light areas called the Lunar Highlands and darker areas called Maria (literally, "seas"; the singular is Mare). The Maria are lower in altitude than the Highlands, but there is no water on the Moon so they are not literally seas ( Recent evidence from the Clementine spacecraft suggests that there may be some water on the Moon, contrary to previous assumptions). See also here . The dark material filling the Maria is actually dark, solidified lava from earlier periods of Lunar volcanism. Both the Maria and the Highlands exhibit large craters that are the result of meteor impacts. There are many more such impact craters in the Highlands.

Answer:

Older surfaces will have a greater density of impact craters, and newer surfaces will have a lower density.
