Most of the Moon's surface is densely covered with craters, but we find relatively few craters within the lunar maria. What can we conclude?

Answer: The lunar maria were formed after the heavy bombardment ended.

Step-by-step explanation:

We find relatively few craters on the maria compared to other parts of the Earth's moon because the maria were formed by volcanic eruptions after the bombardment that leads to craters ended.
