Armap, don't you think it would be a little presumptuous to state you know what and what can't happen.
Sorry, I don't understand a word of the rest of your post, could you please explain it better? Thanks in advance.

This is however really far fetched and overlaying 2d projections of different sized 3d spheres is kinda...well, i don't know what to say.
No, what gave you that idea?

It's not a question of supporting, it's more a question of not seeing any reason for it not to have happened, but yes, I do believe that they (both the USSR and the US) brought back rocks, but "fine grain powder" is not ash.
If you support the moon landings then you'd say they brought back rocks. Are not the rocks covered in the "fine grain powder".
Then where did all that ash came from?
I believe the ash filled in much of the features enough to change the albedo and make it unrecognizable. That doesn't mean I think the rock turned to ash. They supposedly brought back rock, so I can not assume it turned to ash.

That's what I was trying to point, that it would be needed a huge amount of material to fill all the great depths of the oceans with ash.
OK, volcanic ash. I always thought of ash as normal ash, not volcanic ash.

Not much, it's already very hot. But I don't understand why it would get hotter.
If the earth's core began to heat it would expand correct?
Water covers 70% of the Earth's surface, the volume is just around 1/800 of the whole Earth's volume (if I didn't made any mistake in my calculations ).
How big would the earth be if you took away 70% of it, that is the water? 1/3rd the size. Water refracts the light into colors, with out the water you see the moon.
The debris do not fall in the area from where they were ejected, as you can see just by letting something fall on a bowl of flour, for example, they are spread around the impact area.
The oceans don't get filled in, that is to say, they get burnt off at least the pacific does instantly and cratered by the falling debre of its end.
I don't know if the atmosphere would be destroyed, I don't remember anything about that, I will have to look for information about it, but without atmosphere the ash (I suppose you mean volcanic ash) would travel much farther away, making a more uniform but thinner layer than with atmosphere. But you still need a volume of ashes that's 1/16th of that of Moon to replace all of the ocean's water.
The spewing ash having little atmosphere to resist as I assume the atmosphere is erased almost immediately, falls back and fills in the rifts, the Mediterranean, and the low lying areas.
I suppose you mean Tsiolkovskiy, that would be in the northern part pf Australia. But what about Mare Moscoviense, for example, that would be in the Pacific?
Everything on the pacific side is almost erased, save Tchaikovsky...the lowest point in Australia.
No, Apophis is too small to make a big influence on the Moon. They are worried if it hits the Earth because a 5km crater on a densely populated area could mean millions of deaths.
If Apophis strikes the moon, the earth is in trouble. Everyone worrying about the earth getting struck, but we can't live without the moon and that could be a real threat. And of course it just has to be at the cross of 2012/2013. I'm not a doomsday guy, but this is a real problem.
That's the problem, I think you are not seeing it from the scientific side. But that's just my opinion, obviously.
I think your wise enough to figure these things out. It just takes seeing the same info from "all" sides...
No, it was too long ago.
Remember why you started asking questions and loved learning? Remember your first solved mystery?...
I'm having fun, so no problems from that.
It's supposed to be fun...don't forget that. It's ok to not know everything, but its not ok to not know what you know....share at your discretion....Peace

Volcanic ash in large quantities is limited to a relatively small area around each volcano, I don't think it would be that much.

And without water we would see the bottom of the oceans, but we will still see the areas above water level as they look now, so I don't understand what you mean by that.

I just think you are letting your imagination go unchecked by reality for too long. But I know that I am an unimaginative person.

None that I know, but the problem is that you are ignoring the differences as if they don't exist.
For example, those images from "Hadley on Earth" and "Hadley on the Moon", for which you say the coordinates are "roughly the same". They are not, the location you marked on Earth is much smaller than the one on the Moon when it should be the other way.
Or have you never read "objects in the mirror are closer then they appear"?
That's funny, because that's an optical illusion, the word "appear" shows that it's a question of interpretation, not of reality.
And, as far as I know, that happens mostly because of convex rear-view mirrors, not normal mirrors, for which the difference is much smaller.

No, it is not the other way around. The earth has a bigger surface area, so of course the Hadley Rhile feature is bigger on the moon.
What about the fact that every feature is the same.
