How much do a rock weight from the moon?
The overwhelming majority of moon rock is basalt, a very common volcanic rock. Earth has more basalt than it knows what to do with. Two equal volumes of basalt, one from earth and the other from the moon would weigh just about the same (on earth).
The moon is made of rock called what?
The moon is made of basalt rock. Basalt rock is igneous, dark colored, and fine grained. Similar rock can be found in Antarctica and Hawaii.
Which layer makes up most of the moon's volume?
the mare which is mostly basalt
What is found on earth and moon?
A lot of basalt, a common volcanic rock. This might be #1 among things the earth and moon share in common.
What is the significance of the blood burning moon?
blood-burning-moon-story-4read the part under Imagery ;)
The material on the surface of the moon is similar to 'basalt' or 'granite'?
basalt
What does the moon have similar to the earth?
A great deal of a volcanic rock called "basalt". Basalt is very common on earth, and the moon is very largely made of basalt. It also has gravity but not as much as Earth.

Why is Basalt Scarce?
It isn't. Basalt is a common igneous rock, found on almost every continent, the sea floor, the moon, and Mars.
Which layer makes up most of the moon's volume?
the mare which is mostly basalt
Dark regions on the surface of the moon are generally?
Dark regions on the surface of the moon are generally basalt flows. Basalt is a dark rock. The flows have been caused by rock melting due to heat generated by meteor impacts.
Why doesn't the moon give out its own light?
the moons basalt obsorbs sunlight and reflects it.
When melted rock cooled on the Moon's surface it cooled to form what type of rock?
Basalt.
What is found on earth and moon?
A lot of basalt, a common volcanic rock. This might be #1 among things the earth and moon share in common.
Is basalt rock intrusive or extrusive?
Basalt is a common extrusive igneous (volcanic) rock formed from the rapid cooling of basaltic lava exposed at or very near the surface of a planet or moon.
What is the rock on the moon?
Probably the "mare basalt's where some dated samples are as old as 4.2 billion years
