Differ Over Moons crstsrs

It Is not known that there are active
volcanoes on the moon. The surface
of the moon shows a great number Of
so-called craters. No universal agree
ment has as yet been reached to ex-
plain the existence Of these craters.
II they are Of volcanic origin. the ac-
tivlty which occurred on the moon
must have enormously surpassed any.

the fact that there are no lava flows,

volcanic theory Of their origin has not
been universally accepted.
