Hemispherical maps of Lunar surface topography showing near and far sides of the Moon.

Moon Surface Elevation

Hemispherical maps of the Moon reveal that its far side is more heavily cratered than the near side due to a thinner crust on the latter, which allowed volcanic activity to create smooth “maria”.
