The lunar mare, which are large, dark, basaltic plains on the Moon, are found almost entirely on the Earth-facing side. This distribution is thought to be due to the crust being thinner on the side facing Earth, which made it easier for volcanic activity to fill in the basins created by large impacts with lava, forming the mare.
