S2 Review part 1

Why do impact craters on Earth appear less prominent compared to craters on the Moon?

• The Moon's surface has stronger tectonic activity to reshape its craters

• Earth's surface is constantly reshaped by weathering, erosion, and tectonic activity

• Earth's crust is denser, absorbing impacts more effectively

• The Moon is shielded from solar radiation, preserving its crater
