Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -The craters on the Moon are a historical record of asteroid impacts-on Earth as well as the Moon. For the last three billion years, asteroid impacts have been almost the only event to shape the Moon’s surface. Unlike Earth, the Moon has no life, and almost no geologic activity or water.
Detailed explanation-2: -Because of tectonics, the surface of Earth is recycled many times throughout its long history. As a result, very few rocks on Earth are as old as the rocks on the Moon. The Moon has not had tectonics for billions of years. That’s a lot more time for craters to form and stay put.
Detailed explanation-3: -Impactite is rock created or modified by one or more impacts of a meteorite.
