Geological maps of the Moon

Geological maps of the Moon show the distribution and types of rocks and surface features across its surface. They help scientists understand the Moon’s history, including volcanic activity, crater formation, and surface changes over time. These maps use colors and symbols to indicate different geological units, such as lava plains, impact craters, and mountain ranges. By analyzing these features, researchers can infer the processes that shaped the Moon and compare its geology with other planetary bodies, aiding in the planning of future missions and the search for resources.
