Maria and craters are explained below:

<u>Explanation: </u>

The Moon is divided into light area lunar highlands and a dark area called Lunar Maria.
Lunar Maria is large, dark, basaltic plains formed on earth's moon formed by ancient volcanic eruptions.
Craters are formed when an impacting object falls and hits the moon's surface with greater speed and also formed as a result of the outward explosion of rocks.
Craters are often caused by asteroids and meteorites with the lunar surface.
Unlike earth-moon does not have an atmosphere to protect itself from impacting bodies. This is the reason for more number of craters formed on earth.

What role do bacteria play in an aquaponics system?

expeople1 [14]

They transform fish waste into plant food.

They break down dead plant matter

The most important bacteria in aquaponics are the nitrifiers that turn ammonia excreted by fish into nitrites and nitrates that can be taken up by the plants (hydroponic)

Explanation:

Aquaponics is system of farming that combines hydroponics and aquaculture with the two systems being interdependent due to nutrient cycling. Occasionally, some dead matter such as excrement falls from the fishes and plants and into the system. The bacteria break this organic matter to release the nutrients (nitrites and nitrates) hence making them available for uptake by plants. This cleans the water and makes it available again for the fishes.

External ear structure that helps to localize the direction from which sound arises

Step2247 [10]

The external ear structure is called the Pinna.

The Pinna helps to channel sound waves into the ear.

Many animals have the ability to move their pinna towards the direction of sound.

I have attached an image of a dog's ear to show you the external structure called the Pinna.

I hope this helps! I'm happy to answer any other questions you might have :)
