q6. the smooth darkmaria on the moon were formed due to
ancient volcano eruption
heavily crater from impacts
melting of the ice, which ran into low - lying areas
water leaking out of the moons interior
all of the above
The lunar maria are vast basaltic plains on the Moon formed by ancient volcanic eruptions. When large asteroids or comets impacted the Moon, they created large craters. The impact energy melted the lunar crust, and later, basaltic magma from the Moon's interior filled these large impact basins. Over time, this basaltic lava solidified to form the smooth, dark maria we see today. There is no evidence that melting ice or water leaking from the Moon's interior formed the maria.
