Lunar surface features

Lunar surface features include craters, which are round pits from meteoroid impacts; maria, vast dark plains formed by ancient volcanic lava flows; highlands, brighter, rugged areas rich in mountains and valleys; and rilles, channel-like structures likely created by volcanic activity or collapsed lava tubes. These features reveal the Moon’s geological history, shaped by impacts, volcanic eruptions, and tectonic activity over billions of years, giving the lunar surface a diverse and complex landscape.
