How do scientists know that the moon was once geologically active?
Scientists know that the moon was once geologically active because it has features such as volcanic plains, volcanic structures, and lava tubes. These features suggest past volcanic activity and tectonic processes. Additionally, moon rocks collected during the Apollo missions show evidence of volcanic activity.
Why did scientists once think there were volCANOES ON THE MOON?
The reason that this was that it was once the only thing that scientists could use to explain why the moon had so many craters on it (which we now know to be the product of meteorite and asteroid collisions).
How scientist know that the moon was once geologically active?
because they dont exzacly no but they hypothesize
How do scientists know how old the moon is?
The nMoon was once a part of the Earth, so it is the same age as the earth.
How do scientist know that the Moon's surface once was very hot?
how do scientists know that the moons suface once was very hot?
How do you know the earth is bigger than the moon?
Some scientists believe that the moon was once a chunk of the earth that broke off long ago and became our moon, and if that's true, it isn't possible that the moon would be bigger than the earth.
How do you solve MOONCEON?
Usually the first two and the last two letters are blue, making it "once in a blue moon"
How do scientists know that dinosaurs once roamed New Jersey?
Fossils and the fact that we were once Pangea and dinosaurs were everywhere
Why is the crust thicker on the near side of the moon than on the far side?
Right now scientists do not know why the Earth-facing side of the moon has thicker crust. One proposal is that Earth may have once had two moons that collided at relatively low speeds. The geologically different regions on the moon would then have originated from two separate moons.
Was Pluto a moon of a planet?
No. Scientists once thought Pluto was a former moon of Neptune but later realized that the configuration of its orbit did not fit this scenario. This hypothesis was popular before Pluto was found to be part of the Kuiper belt.
What is a moon of pluto?
Pluto is not a moon of anything; it is a dwarf planet. Scientists used to think that Pluto may have once been a moon of Neptune, but later studies showed that it could not be so due to the nature of Pluto's orbit.
Why does one rotation of the moon equal one orbit of the moon?
The moon orbits the earth in such a way that the same side of the moon is facing towards the earth at all times. A fancy way of describing this is that the moon rotates once when it orbits the earth once. Rocks returned from the Apollo lunar landings are made of the same material as the rocks on earth. Scientists now believethat the moon was created when another object slammed into the earth back when the earth was still very hot and had a much thinner crust. The moon is a combination of the earth at that timeand the object that hit us. That is why the moon rotates once with evey revolution.
