Odd formations in the middle of the Moon's craters

Many of the moon's craters have mountainous regions at their centre. This is due to the fact that the asteroid impact that forms the crater is so energetic that it melts the surface of the moon which then behaves like a liquid until the crust refreezes. This video explains how this phenomena creates mountains in the middle of the craters. There are however many craters without mountains at their centre. Most of these craters (Plato is the most famous) have been flooded my lava from the moon which covers the central mountain.
