Mare Crisium (the "sea of crises") is a lunar mare located in the Moon's Crisium basin, just northeast of Mare Tranquillitatis. Geometry, a diameter of a Circle is any straight Line segment that passes through the center of the circle and whose Endpoints are on the The lunar maria (singular mare, two syllables are large dark Basaltic plains on Earth 's Moon, formed by ancient Volcanic eruptions Mare Tranquillitatis ( Latin for Sea of Tranquility) is a Lunar mare that sits within the Tranquillitatis basin on Earth 's Moon This basin is of the Pre-Imbrian period, 4. The lunar geologic timescale (or selenologic timescale) divides the history of Earth 's moon into five generally recognized geologic periods the Copernican 55 to 3. 85 billion years ago. This mare is 376 miles (605 km) in diameter, and 176,000 km2 in area. It has a very flat floor, with a ring of wrinkled ridge toward its outer boundaries. Ghost craters, craters that have largely been buried under deposits of other material, are located to the south. [1]
The crater has many notable features in and around it. The cape-like feature protruding into the southeast of the mare is Promontorium Agarum. On the western rim of the mare is the palimpsest Yerkes. A palimpsest is a Manuscript page whether from scroll or Book that has been written on scraped off and used again Yerkes is a lunar crater near the western edge of Mare Crisium. The crater Picard is located just to the east of Yerkes, and northwest of Picard is the crater Peirce. In the broadest sense the term impact crater can be applied to any depression natural or manmade resulting from the high velocity impact of a projectile with larger body Picard is a lunar Impact crater that lies in the western part of the Mare Crisium. Peirce is a small lunar crater that lies in the western part of Mare Crisium. Mare Anguis can be seen northeast of Mare Crisium. Mare Anguis (the "serpent sea" is a Lunar mare located on the near side of the Moon, about 150 miles in diameter [2]
