Answer:

Gaseous exchange between leaves and atmosphere would be disturbed due to blocked stomata.

Explanation:

Leaves have stomata on their surfaces. Through stomata, plants take the oxygen in for respiration. Carbon dioxide gas is also released into the atmosphere through stomata. Similarly, plants take the atmospheric CO2 through stomata to perform the process of photosynthesis. The molecular oxygen produced as a by-product during photosynthesis is also released through stomata.

Coating both sides of leaves with petroleum jelly or wax would block stomata. Leaves of the plant with coating would not be able to perform breathing and photosynthesis.

Katen [24]
Lunar maria (plural form of the Latin word mare, which means sea) are dark surfaces that can be found all over the moon (17% of the Moon is covered in them) that have been created as a result of volcanic eruptions. These areas are made up of basalt, and given that they seemed almost waterlike, the astronomers in the distant past mistook them for seas, whence their name comes.
When it comes to craters, their origin is quite similar - volcanic eruptions created them. When lava starts erupting from a volcano, it has to get out from somewhere - and thus craters are created. If you are referring to lunar craters, however, there are many speculations as to how they were created: due to volcanic eruptions, meteoric impact, or glacier activity.
