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.

  • 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.
