Question 6(e). Generally speaking, which sides of the crater walls is steeper, inner or outer? Question 6(f). Generally speaking, do the crater floors appear to be above, level with, or below the general level of the regions surrounding the craters? Why do you think this is the case? Question 6(g). Why do you think the crater floors seem to be smoother than their surroundings? Observe Aristarchus in Figure 3 below. It is a relatively young crater sitting at the edge of a lunar sea. Note that it has a small peak near its center. Look also at Copernicus and Erastosthenes in Figure 1 and supplemental image K62, as well as Theophilus in image K38.

6e-g. Don’t worry about the k figures. Only focus on the attached image
CLAVIUS INER BLANCHANUS Figure 2. Clavius, Scheiner, and Blanchanus Question 6(a). Observe the large crater Clavius, a walled plain, in Figure 2 and in the supplemental image K50. What is its general shape? (Note the shape of its neighbors Scheiner and Blanchanus.) Question 6(b). If it is true that asteroids and comets have always been raining down on the moon, then is Clavius a young crater or an old crater? Explain your reasoning. Question 6(c). Based on your answer, which neighboring crater is older, Scheiner or Blanchanus? Again, please explain your reasoning. Question 6(d). Compared to these two neighbors, how would you describe the outer edges (walls) of Clavius? Question 6(e). Generally speaking, which sides of the crater walls is steeper, inner or outer? Question 6(f). Generally speaking, do the crater floors appear to be above, level with, or below the general level of the regions surrounding the craters? Why do you think this is the case?
