Au télescope, et même déjà à l'œil nu, on distingue sur la Lune [...] des régions foncées, baptisées «Marés» [...]. [L'albédo] va, pour les Marés de 5 à 10, exceptionnellement 19 %. Les Marés sont beaucoup moins étendues sur la face cachée que sur la face visible [...]. Les Marés sont très probablement d'anciens cratères, creusés par l'impact de météorites gigantesques, et qui ont été ensuite remplis par des montées de laves basaltiques, étalées en nappes; les Terras et, dans une moindre mesure, les Marés, sont à leur tour criblées de cratères en immense majorité météoritiques, quelques-unes toutefois peut-être volcaniques [...] 2, record 1, French, - mer

Ce sont des dépressions au sol inégal généralement limitées par des massifs montagneux. 5, record 1, French, - mer
