Question

All of the following characteristics of the moon contribute to preservation of its impact craters except

A) the moon's lack of atmosphere
B) the lack of weather events on the moon
C) the lack of geologic processes on the moon
D) the moon's lack of variety in its rock compositon

Answer 1

The appropriate answer is D. the moon's lack of variety in its rock composition does not contribute to the preservation of its impact craters. The moons lack of atmosphere preserves impact craters as there is no wind or rain to disturb the site. There are no geologic processes such as uplift or volcanic activity to disturb impact craters.

Answer 2

The answer is D) the moon's lack of variety in its rock composition rocks found in the moon are more or less like the ones found here on earth. However, In the moon, there is no tectonic activity (the process of forming new rocks), water, atmosphere, or weather.it has no activity of volcanism either hence the impact of craters cannot be erased as compared to the earth.
