Why are there rocks on the moon that are older than any rock on earth?
There is no geologic activity or weathering on the moon to break rocks down, so most of the rocks on the moon are nearly as old as the moon itself. Earth is geologically active and has processes that will destroy and recycle rocks. None of the rocks that made up Earth's original surface are still intact.
What does a chemist learn about the moon's surface by analyzing moon rocks?
The chemical composition of these rocks is determined. The results showed that these rocks are virtually identical to those of the Earth.
Why are Sedimentary rocks are not found on the Moon?
There could be sedimentary rocks on the Moon, the processes forming them would be different from those on the earth but it is possible that there are processes moving and layering Moon dust which could be regarded as a sediment. However, in general there is no erosion or deposition happening on the Moon as it does on Earth and therefore no rocks formed as a result of these processes.
What is moon compose of?
Rocks very similar to those found on Earth.
Why do rocks we find on earth's surface usually look so different from moon rocks?
Rocks on Earth's surface are shaped by various geological processes, such as weathering, erosion, and biological activity, which give them diverse colors and textures. In contrast, moon rocks have been exposed to a harsh lunar environment with minimal atmosphere, leading to fewer alterations and a more uniform appearance. Additionally, the moon's geological history differs significantly from Earth's, resulting in distinct mineral compositions and formations. This combination of factors contributes to the stark differences in appearance between Earth rocks and moon rocks.
Why are Moon's rocks so simalar to earth's rocks?
The moon used to be part of the earth
Can you eat moon rocks?
No. Moon rocks are much like the rocks on Earth.
How are moon rocks similar to and different rocks on earth?
Minerals that make up moon rocks are the same minerals that are found on Earth. Some moon rocks have minerals that combine to form kinds of rocks that are not found on Earth. BlueStar(:
Difference of lunar rocks and earth rocks?
Lunar rocks are those forming the Moon - as the word 'lunar' says. Earth rocks are formed on Earth - but the rock forming the Moon is also a constituent of the Earth.
Are there rocks on the moon and the earth?
Indeed there are. Lots of rocks.

Moon rocks resemble rocks from what layer of the earth?
Moon rocks resemble rocks from the Earth's crust layer. They are predominantly composed of igneous rocks like basalt and anorthosite, similar to those found on Earth's crust.
How are rocks obtained for the earth?
By the moon
Is moon rock magnetic?
Moon rocks are very similar to earth rocks an they are not intrinsically magnetic.
Are rocks opaque?
Yes. Rocks on the moon are similar to volcanic rocks on Earth.
