Post by: killian on Apr 29, 2014
How did the lunar maria form?
A) Large impacts fractured the Moon's lithosphere, allowing lava to fill the impact basins.
B) The early bombardment created heat that melted the lunar surface in the regions of the maria.
C) Volatiles escaping from the Moon's interior heated and eroded the surface in the regions of the maria.
D) The giant impact that created the Moon left smooth areas that we call the maria.
E) The maria are the result of gradual erosion by micrometeorites striking the Moon.
