The crust on the side of the moon facing earth is what than on the other side?
Thicker. The side of the moon facing Earth has a thicker crust compared to the side facing away, known as the lunar farside. This difference is due to the asymmetry in the thickness of the Moon's crust caused by the cooling of the lunar magma ocean.
After the New phase the Moon's lighted side appears to grow thicker every night or begins?
This phase is known as the waxing crescent phase of the Moon. During this phase, the Moon appears to grow thicker each night as more of its lighted side becomes visible from Earth.
Why is the crust thicker on the near side of the moon than on the far side?
Right now scientists do not know why the Earth-facing side of the moon has thicker crust. One proposal is that Earth may have once had two moons that collided at relatively low speeds. The geologically different regions on the moon would then have originated from two separate moons.
How much thicker is the far side of the Moon's crust?
According to my Honors Earth Science high school textbook (McDougal Littell: Earth Science by Nancy E. Spaulding and Samuel N. Namowitz), the far side of the moon's crust, at about 150 kilometers, is approximately 85 kilometer's thicker than its near side, at 65 kilometers thick.
Why is the moon's crust thinner on one side than the other?
The pull of Earth's gravity during the moon's formation caused the crust on the far side of the moon to become thicker than the crust on the near side. On the near side, the lunar crust is about 60 km thick. On the far side, the lunar crust is up to 100 km thick.
Does the side of the moon facing the earth have a thicker crust than the other side of the moon?

How would the surface of the moon look different if the crust on the far side were the same as the near side?
While the earth rotates, the moon revolves around it. While the moon rotates it has different phases. Improvement : I think this question is about the fact that the Moon's crust seems to be thicker on the "far side". This may be why there's much less sign of volcanic activity on the far side.
How thick is moons crust?
The moon's crust averages between 31 and 37 miles in thickness. The crust on the far side is a bit thicker than the near side.
Why might more craters be present on far side of the moon than on the side of the moon facing earth?
The Moon's crust may be thicker on the far side. So there was less volcanic activity. So there is less lava to cover up craters. Lava flows form the "maria" which are much more in evidence on the side facing Earth.
Is the crust of the earth thicker than the crust of the moon?
The moon is completely solid, so there is no crust on the moon.
Which side of the sheep heart is thicker?
left side
