• No atmosphere = less craters

• No atmosphere = more craters

• Atmosphere present = less craters

• Atmosphere present = more craters

The moon and Earth formed at approximately the same time. Why does the moon have more craters than the Earth? (3 correct answers)

• movement of tectonic plates on Earth's surface erased craters

• the moon and the earth have the same number of active volcanoes

• wind and rain have weathered away smaller craters on earth

• the moon has no atmosphere, so meteors of every size make it to the surface to produce craters

Which of the following is an example of the composition of an object in space?

• The oldest mineral's age

• Which rock or mineral it is made of

• Whether it has craters on its surface

• Whether it has an atmosphere present

Scientists measure the amounts of Uranium-235 and Lead-207 in two different rocks - rock A and rock B. Which of these best explains why scientists can conclude that rock B is older than rock A?

• Rock B has a higher ratio of parent (more) to daughter atoms (less).

• Rock B has a lower ratio of parent (less) to daughter atoms (more).

• Rock B has a 1 to 1 ratio of parent to daughter atoms.

• Rock B does not contain any daughter atoms.
