Yes
The maria on the moon have fewer craters compared to the highlands because they are made of younger, solidified lava flows that have covered and filled in older cratered regions. The volcanic activity that created the maria also played a role in erasing or masking the older impact craters.
The maria (large, dark, flat plains formed by ancient volcanic activity) on the moon are younger than the craters (impact sites from asteroids or meteoroids). The maria are estimated to be around 3 billion years old, while many of the craters are thought to be upwards of 4 billion years old.
No the maria is very flat and HI
Maria Highlands are large, flat areas on the Moon's surface formed by ancient volcanic eruptions, while craters are depressions caused by impacts from asteroids or comets. Maria are typically smoother and darker in color due to the presence of basaltic lava flows, while craters can vary in size and shape depending on the impact that created them.
Craters don't contain maria. 'Maria' (plural) are the large unbroken expanses that appear smooth, with no craters, or relatively few. 'Maria' means 'seas' ... at one time, they were thought to be oceans on the moon.
The maria are the craters. I believe it was Galileo who saw the dark spots on the moon and thought that they were seas, which is why he called them maria ("mar" being Latin for sea). Since then, advancements have been made in astronomy which have shown that the maria are not seas, but craters.

no moons but have big craters
Saturn has no craters as it does not have a solid surface.
False. Most craters on Earth are larger than Maria, which are large, dark, basaltic plains on the Moon. Craters can range in size from a few meters to hundreds of kilometers in diameter, making them generally larger than Maria.
Craters and the "maria".
Craters. Mountainous areas. Also, the dark areas called "maria" are very prominent, mainly on the side of the Moon facing Earth. The whole surface is covered in broken rock and dust. That's why astronauts left footprints.
