The interaction of earth-orbiting and Sun-orbiting planetesimals (very large chunks of rocks like asteroids) early in the history of the Solar System led to their breakup. The Moon condensed from this debris.

Cold accretion theory?
Large planetesimals have gravitational pull and attract smaaller ones.
The fourth postulate of kinetic theory states that collisions between particles occur quickly such that most of the time particles are in motion and not colliding Predict the effect of increasing the?
Increasing the concentration of the reactants will increase the rate of collisions, but will not change the fact that most of the time particles are in motion and not colliding.
How did the Theory of Continental Drift contribute to the development of the Theory of Plate Tectonics?
Cause you started with Pangaea a large super continent which slowly broke apart and each one started drifting. Now plate tectonics is how the collisions occur and when and WHY. WHY are they colliding?, because they have drifted away from each other and are now colliding back together again. And also each individual plate will break and come together again.
The process by which small debris combines to form planetESimals is called?
Accretion
What some things planetesimals contributed to the early solar system?
dust and gas
What are the names of the way the moon formed?
The fission theory, the capture theory, the condensation theory, the colliding planetesimals theory and the ejected ring theory.
What are the names of the theorys of the way the moon formed?
The fission theory, the capture theory, the condensation theory, the colliding planetesimals theory and the ejected ring theory.
Who was the scientist who discovered the planetesimals theory?
Viktor Safronov
How many stages are in The condensation theory?
There are six different stages in the condensation theory. These include the formation of a nebula cloud, the formation of a sun, the formation of planetesimals, the expulsion of gases from the forming sun, the growth of the planetesimals, and the formation of larger planets from planetesimals.
Cold accretion theory?
Large planetesimals have gravitational pull and attract smaaller ones.
What is part of the theory of plate tectonics?
The theory is that the tectonic plates have faults and are colliding, moving away, or going by each other. ~Toria, 12
Are stars smaller than planetesimals?
No. Stars are many times larger than planetesimals.
How is a mountain formed by colliding continental plates?
In theory, tectonic plates. http://www.ucmp.berkeley.edu/geology/tectonics.html
Planetesimals made of ice are called what?
Planetesimals made from ice and sometimes rock are called comets.
What are three theories of how our moon was created?
The Fission Theory: The Moon was once part of the Earth and somehow separated from the Earth early in the history of the Solar System. The present Pacific Ocean basin is the most popular site for the part of the Earth from which the Moon came.The Capture Theory: The Moon was formed somewhere else, and was later captured by the gravitational field of the Earth.The Condensation Theory: The Moon and the Earth condensed together from the original nebula that formed the Solar System.The Colliding Planetesimals Theory: The interaction of earth-orbiting and Sun-orbiting planetesimals (very large chunks of rocks like asteroids) early in the history of the Solar System led to their breakup. The Moon condensed from this debris.The Ejected Ring Theory: A planetesimal the size of Mars struck the earth, ejecting large volumes of matter. A disk of orbiting material was formed, and this matter eventually condensed to form the Moon in orbit around the Earth.
What did planetesimals do as earth formed?
As earth formed, most planetesimals were attracted by the earth's gravity and coalesced with earth.
What is kinetic theory and how is it used?
Kinetic theory is when a high number of particles such as temperature, viscosity and volume that move randomly colliding in different directions. The speed of particles has an impact on temperature and gas pressure.
