C) observation of the amount of natural erosion in the lunar mountains
D) counting the density of crater impacts on the surface

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The Moon lacks an atmosphere, liquid water, and active geological processes that cause natural erosion as seen on Earth. Therefore, the amount of natural erosion in lunar mountains is not a method used to establish the age of the Moon's surface features. Techniques like radioactive dating of rocks, observation of the degree of darkening of ejecta blanket material by solar wind particle impacts, and counting the density of crater impacts are used for this purpose.
