The rocks were similar to rocks formed by volcanoes on Earth, suggesting that vast oceans of molten lava once covered the moon's surface.

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.
What did chemist learn about the moon surface by analyzing moon rocks?
The rocks were similar to rocks formed by volcanoes on Earth, suggesting that vast oceans of molten lava once covered the moon's surface.
What type of chemist would study rock minerals?
It wouldn't be a chemist; a type of scientist called a petrologist or mineralogist studies rocks and their minerals.
What are igneous rocks that form on earth surface?
igneous rocks that form on earth's surface
What did scientists learn about earths interior by studying rock samples?
They can learn about conditions deep inside Earth, where these rocks formed. In addition, forces inside Earth sometimes blast rock to the surface from depths of more than 100 kilometers. These rocks provide clues about the interior.
What did scientist learn earth's interior by studying rock samples?

What rocks originate from the surface of the earth?
Sedimentary rocks form on the Earth's crust, and can form metamorphic rocks when buried. Igneous rocks form under the surface, or when liquid magma reaches the surface as lava.
Molten rocks that cool at the earths surface are known as?
Lava.
How is magma different from rocks on Earth's surface?
Magma is under the surface of Earth's crust. Rocks on earth's surface are well ... on Earth's surface. Magma is also molten rock, not solid rock like the rocks on earth's surface.
Where are rocks above the surface forced up and over rocks below the surface?
Reverse Fault
How much rocks are on the surface of the earth?
Apart form the Oceans the earths surface is made of rocks.
How could a scientists use igneous rocks to study the materials found deep below earths surface?
Scientists can study igneous rocks to understand the composition and temperature of the Earth's mantle and crust. By analyzing the minerals and chemical composition of igneous rocks, scientists can infer the processes that occur deep below the Earth's surface, such as mantle melting, magma evolution, and volcanic eruptions. Additionally, isotopic dating of igneous rocks can provide insights into the history of the Earth's formation and the movement of tectonic plates.
