Homework
Mars and the Moon have many impact craters across their surfaces. The Earth has someimpact craters but not nearly as many. Given what you’ve learned these past three weeks about earth sciences, explain, in your own words, why Earth has far fewer impact craters. Use Claim, Evidence and Reasoning to answer this question. Use scientific language. You may use outside sources but cite your source(s).
