The cumulate rocks form much of the crust. The upper part of the crust probably averages about 88% plagioclase (near the lower limit of 90% defined for anorthosite): the lower part of the crust may contain a higher percent of ferromagnesian minerals such as the pyroxenes and olivine, but even that lower part probably averages about 78% plagioclase.[8] The underlying mantle is denser and is also olivine-rich.

Why the moon changes through a cycle each month?
The moon does not change (much). What an observer on Earth sees changes as the Moon orbits the Earth and the Earth/Moon system orbits the Sun much more slowly is the illuminated portion of the moon growing (covering more and more of the visible portion of the Moon) and when the Moon is full, the Sun Earth and Moon are more or less in line (if they were exactly in line it would be a lunar eclipse - which does happen a few times each year). Then as the Moon continues to rotate around the Earth, night after night, less and less of the illuminated portion is visible to the observer on Earth.
