Annotation

The formation mechanism of craters with diameters D > 10 km, as well as seas and mascons on the Moon, caused by the periodic falls of galactic comets, is considered. The basis of this mechanism is the cumulative effect due to the large kinetic energy of galactic comets and the high intensity of their falls. In contrast to craters, formation of seas and mascons occurs with the participation of geodynamic (magmatic) foci, which are formed due to strong heating and melting rocks beneath craters by cometary shock waves. The heating energy needed to create such foci is provided by falls of multiple galactic comets in conditions of high density of their falls.
