How can new information affect an old explanation for something?
It was not known how the Moon formed until the Apollo astronauts brought back Moon rocks. It was then found that the rocks were similar to the Earth's showing that a planet had hit the Earth and scooped out a chunk of the mantle. Prior to this it was thought that either the Moon was a captured asteroid or had formed at the same time as the Earth from a disc of dust.

How are canyons formed facts about kids?

How are moon rocks similar and different to rocks on earth?

How are craters fomed on the moon?
Craters on the Moon are formed by the impacts of meteoroids of varying sizes. Small rocks make small craters, and bigger rocks make larger craters.
Why aren't there any sedimentary rocks on the moon?
because there is no air on the moon therefore there is no weathering and no weathering means no erosion and then theres no sediment for the wind to carry which means no sedimentary rocks can be formed
How are moon rocks formed?
the rocks on the moon are rich in iron and magnesium. and there are also lunar rocks on the moon yes they have a lot of magnetism and did you know their are volcano's in the moon and the don't blast lava they blast minerals. And dose magnetic rocks if you watched h2o you would know that the rocks in the volcano were from the moon that's why they needed the moon to make the girls a mermaid. So the history of that volcano (maico) is connected with the moon. PS. i wanna be a detective I'm good at this.
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.
How were rocks formed on the moon?
A few billion years ago, when the Moon was young and it was hotter than it is now, there was molten rock inside. This lead to the formation of igneous rocks on the surface.
