Answer:

The two terrains are strikingly different; the moon is dark-colored and covered with numerous smaller craters that are the result of countless impacts by asteroids and other things in space. On the other hand, the Australian crater is surrounded by reddish-brownish dirt and appears to be much larger and perhaps the result of one much larger impact. the two images are similar in that they both depict the surfaces of nearby planets/moons in space that contain craters (evidences of impact by asteroids/comets). One reason the moon may have more craters is because it has no atmosphere for space debris and objects to burn up in.
