Adonis Ellison · Answer 2

The lunar maria / ˈmɑːriə / (singular: mare / ˈmɑːreɪ/) are large, dark, basaltic plains on Earth's Moon, formed by ancient volcanic eruptions. They were dubbed maria, Latin for "seas", by early astronomers who mistook them for actual seas ... The names ofmaria generally refer to states of mind, with a few exceptions.
