I was under the impression that the moon is geologically inert or dead. So, no.

There is no evidence to indicate that there have ever been any volcanoes on the earth's moon.
The craters we can see on the moon are all meteoric impact craters.
The moon does experience an occasional small quake, but as it lacks the kind of tectonic plates we have on earth, they remain minor and do not have widespread effects.

No. The moon no longer has geological activity. That is one of the reasons why the impact craters have lasted so long on the moon.

Not anymore the moon has cooled off. If you look up at the moon the dark spots are called Maria which were mad by meteor impacts which splashed up lava long before the solidification.

The moon never had volcanoes, only meteor impact craters

Everything I have ever read on the subject indicates the moon is inert. No volcanic activity. I think I did read somewhere that small seismic quakes occur occasionally. Research that before you quote me please.
