Answer:

Impact craters is the correct answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

An impact crater is created in a moon or in a planet when an asteroid, comet, meteorite, or other object impacts its surface at a very high speed. It typically has a circular shape and a raised rim. These impact craters can be seen in many planets in the Solar System, and also in the Moon.
