The seas and highland of the moon

The "seas" of the moon are called:

• maria

• lunatics

• celestions

• lunoceans

the seas of the moon are :

• the remains of large bodies of water that once existed on the moon

• the cooled remains of what were once huge lava fields

• the results of the constant solar wind on the moon

• an illusion caused by the sun and the earth's atmosphere.

Most of the seas are found on the:

• the lunar highlands

• the nearside of the moon

• the farside of the moon

• the darkside of the moon

Astronomers think the lava fields that became the Maria were caused by:

• meteors that punched through the lunar surface and allowed the magma below to flow out onto the surface.

• magma that was pulled out by earth's gravity

• the moon shrank as it cooled and forces the lava out

• a collision between the moon and a large comet.

The highlands of the moon are

• the lighter areas of the moon

• the darker areas of the moon

• the part of the moon we can't see

• the ridges around the craters.

The terrae are:

• mountains of the moon

• the flat areas of the moon

• the craters of the moon

• the volcanoes of the moon

The highlands appear lighter to our eyes because:

• The rock they're made of is more reflective

• they're on the side of the moon facing the sun

• they're covered by the lunar "ice caps"

• the effects of the sun on the moon's magnetic field.
