Answer to Question 1

Both are airless worlds with many ancient impact craters. On our Moon, the tides of Earth drew out the mare on the Earth side, while Mercury's lava flows were much less extensive than the mare. But as its core cooled and shrank, Mercury's crust developed huge scarps, great wrinkles that run for hundreds of miles.
