However, liquid magma flowed through cracks and crevices and onto the surface and levelling the surface (and thus dissolving the impact the peaks as well) and filling the crater eventually. The levelled surface is what is known today as lunar Maria. See: lovethenightsky.com/how-did-lunar-maria-form | |
