∙ 13y agoMaria, also known as lunar seas, are the dark relatively flat regions of the moon's surface that were formed when interior lava filled large basins.
The dark-colored, relatively flat regions of the moon's surface that were formed when interior lava filled large basins are called lunar maria. These areas appear darker than the surrounding highlands due to their lower reflectivity and lack of craters. The lunar maria are thought to have formed from ancient volcanic activity on the moon.
These dark colored, relatively flat regions on the Moon's surface are called maria. They were formed when lava filled large basins created by ancient impacts. Maria are composed of solidified basaltic lava flows and give the Moon a patchwork appearance of light and dark regions.
When objects hit the moon, they create craters due to the impact of the collision. The energy from the impact causes the surface material to be displaced and ejected, leaving behind a depression in the surface known as a crater.
The dark spots on the Moon's surface are called lunar maria, which are large basaltic plains created by ancient volcanic activity. These regions appear darker because they are composed of denser rock material compared to the surrounding lunar highlands. The smoother surface of the maria is a result of lava flows that filled in large impact basins on the Moon billions of years ago.
Lunar maria (singular: mare) are large basaltic plains on the Moon that were formed by ancient volcanic activity. Lava flows filled in impact basins on the Moon's surface, creating the smooth, dark regions that we see today. The cooling and solidification of these lava flows gave rise to the familiar appearance of the lunar mare.

The dark-colored, relatively flat regions of the Moon's surface are called lunar maria. These maria were formed when basins on the Moon were filled with basaltic lava following impact events in the past.

Do you have mrs swartzentruber for science? Cuz if u do I have the answer! Meet me in the small commons by where you put your lunch trays!
Flat regions of dry lava on the surface of the moon are called maria. They are large dark basins formed by ancient volcanic activity and are visible from Earth as dark areas on the lunar surface.
The two major regions of land under the water are the continental shelf, which is the relatively shallow area surrounding continents, and the ocean basins, which are deeper areas beyond the continental shelf that make up most of the ocean floor.

Wyoming has 3 main land regions. They are the Great Plains, the Rocky Mountains, and the Intermontane Basins.
No. Uranus is a gas planet; it has no solid surface.
