Presentation transcript:

What landforms here on Earth do you think we see on the Moon too? Stretcher The side of the Moon facing Earth has very few craters, while the other side has a ton of them. Why do you think that is? What landforms here on Earth do you think we see on the Moon too? This presentation goes through the basics of the H-R diagram – it covers the spectral class, temperature, and luminosity. It also includes links to flash animations and interactive quizzes. THE FINE PRINT © Jan Parker, 2009 – for purchaser’s classroom use only; please do not distribute. If other teachers in your school like what they see, send them to my store at teacherspayteachers  If you put your classroom materials on a server for your student’s, please post this presentation in pdf form.

Near Side Far Side

They are thought to have been seas at one time Moon’s surface Maria Maria (singular mare, ‘sea’ in Latin) Dark, smooth plains They are thought to have been seas at one time Not water, but solidified lava that flowed into basins formed by meteor collisions Cover 31% of the near side, but only 2% of the far side

Highland Highland Lighter color regions Many impact craters Many hills

Craters Formed when asteroids/comets hit the lunar surface Half a million craters with diameters larger than 1km Nomenclature: Large craters, deceased famous scientists, artists Small craters, common first names

Craters Ejecta- material that got blasted out by collision and fell back to moon surface

Craters Rays- craters with long ‘tails’ of ejecta

Craters Rilles- meandering valleys of collapsed lava tubes

Known maria, highlaNds and craters
