There are three main theories of how the moon came into existence. The theories are as follows: the moon was captured by Earth's gravitational pull, the moon was originally part of the earth's crust, or the earth and moon formed together out of the primordial nebula.

What is one of the accepted theories of the formation of the moon?
An early collision by (proto) Earth with a large protoplanet..
What are the three main surfaces of the moon?
As the Moon is a globe, it has only one surface.
What is the definition of the third quarter moon?
it is when three quarters of the moon are lit up and one quarter is dark.
What are the 5 theories for the formation of the moon?
Five serious theories have been proposed for the formation of the Moon (not counting the one involving green cheese): 1. 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. 2. The Capture Theory: The Moon was formed somewhere else, and was later captured by the gravitational field of the Earth. 3. The Condensation Theory: The Moon and the Earth condensed together from the original nebula that formed the Solar System. 4. 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. 5. 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.

Which answer is not one of the three theories of the moon formationcaptureparent-childco-creationdaughterexsanquination?
Which answer is not one of the three theories of the moon formation; 1. capture 2. parent-child co-creation 3. daughter 4. exsanquination It's difficult to read the original question, what with the lack of punctuation inherent to Wikianswers and the run-together phrasing, so perhaps I have misinterpreted the question. However; "Exsanguination" means "Bleeding". This is DEFINITELY not one of the theories of the formation of the Moon. Of course, none of the other options appear to be correct, either. The "Capture" and "co-formation" theories have been widely discredited, and the most popular explanation is that another planet, perhaps as large as Mars, collided with the nascent Earth, and that the Moon is made up of a combination of the remnants of that other body and the impact debris thrown off by the Earth.
Where might one find information about Moon landing conspiracy theories?
The television show Mythbusters did a special where they tested the moon landing conspiracy theories. There are also many books and websites which also deal with the subject.
Name and discuss the hypothesis for the origin of the Earths moon?
There are several theories out there for the formation of the moon. The current most widely accpeted one is called the Giant Impact Hypothesis. The basic idea is that at some point after the young earth had formed but while the surface was still molten a Mars sized object collided with Earth and the material ejected and began orbiting the Earth. This material later formed the Moon.
What are the three main surfaces of the moon?
As the Moon is a globe, it has only one surface.
What three theories made up liberal movement?
I would think Romanticism was one of them.
Theory of the origin of the moon?
There are many theories to the creation of the moon. One theory is that it is a part of the Earth. Part of the molten earth that pulled away, but got caught in the gravitational pull of Earth.
Why do you refer to string theory as a philosophical thought?
Because it is one of many theories that have attempted to explain the formation and existence of the universe; no-one can truly know how the universe reached its current state.
What was the fate of the Roanoke colony?
No one knows for sure. There are historians working to find out, but there are three theories.
What is the third quarter of the moon?
it is when three quarters of the moon are lit up and one quarter is dark.
