Does the Moon have volcanoes?

There are many volcanic features on the lunar surface. In fact, the dark lunar maria that you can see when there is a full Moon are massive, generally level deposits of basalt, a volcanic rock. The lunar maria cover about 17% of the Moon's surface. However, Earth-like volcanoes are rare on the Moon. The Gruithuisen Domes (shown by the black arrows in this Apollo 15 picture) are some of the few dome-like volcanic features on the lunar surface, made up of lavas which erupted shortly after the surrounding mare basalts were emplaced.
