Imbrian period
The Imbrian period is a significant geological time frame on the Moon, occurring approximately 3.2 to 3.8 billion years ago. It is characterized by extensive volcanic activity and the formation of large basalt plains, known as maria. This period followed the Nectarian period and is marked by the impact of numerous asteroids and comets, which created many of the Moon's craters.
During the Imbrian period, the Moon's surface underwent substantial changes due to these impacts and volcanic eruptions. The most notable feature from this time is the Imbrium Basin, one of the largest impact basins on the Moon. The geological processes during this period have shaped the Moon's current landscape and provide valuable insights into its history.
