Why aren't there any sedimentary rocks on the moon?
because there is no air on the moon therefore there is no weathering and no weathering means no erosion and then theres no sediment for the wind to carry which means no sedimentary rocks can be formed
Where can you find sedimentary rock outside the earth?
Surface water is required for sedimentary rock to form. There is no surface water on any planet in our solar system at the present time, except of course earth. It appears there WAS water on Mars, perhaps as recently as a billion years ago, where sedimentary rocks may have formed. Refer to links below.
How are moon rocks similar and different to rocks on earth?
Minerals that make up moon rocks are the same minerals that are found on Earth. Some moon rocks have minerals that combine to form kinds of rocks that are not found on Earth. BlueStar(:
Where on the moon have the youngest rocks been found?
The youngest rocks on the Moon have been found in the lunar maria, specifically in areas like the Apollo 11 and Apollo 17 landing sites. These rocks are estimated to be around 1.2 billion years old, much younger than the majority of lunar rocks which date back billions of years.
What is a kind of rock found on the moon that is made up of older rocks stuck together?
Breccia is a type of rock found on the Moon that is made up of older rocks stuck together. It forms from the impact of meteorites or other celestial bodies striking the lunar surface and fusing rocks and soil together.
Would sedimentary rocks be found on the moon?
No sedimentary rocks are found yet. The reason is moon is lack of atmosphere.
Why would you not find sedimentary rocks on the moon?
Sedimentary rocks are formed by the weathering, erosion and then deposition of the resultant clasts. Weathering and erosion do not occur on the moon (except to a limited extent due to the impact of meteorites but this material is not compacted so is a dust rather than a rock) so sedimentary rocks can't form.
Can a moon rock become sedimentary rocks?
no because sedimentary rocks are made at the bottom of oceans
Why are Sedimentary rocks are not found on the Moon?
There could be sedimentary rocks on the Moon, the processes forming them would be different from those on the earth but it is possible that there are processes moving and layering Moon dust which could be regarded as a sediment. However, in general there is no erosion or deposition happening on the Moon as it does on Earth and therefore no rocks formed as a result of these processes.
Why aren't there any sedimentary rocks on the moon?
because there is no air on the moon therefore there is no weathering and no weathering means no erosion and then theres no sediment for the wind to carry which means no sedimentary rocks can be formed
What material was found on the moon?
Moon rocks were found on the Moon.
How old are rocks found in Apollo missions?
The moon rocks are older then the rocks found on earth.
How are moon rocks similar to and different rocks on earth?
Minerals that make up moon rocks are the same minerals that are found on Earth. Some moon rocks have minerals that combine to form kinds of rocks that are not found on Earth. BlueStar(:
Far where on the moon have the youngest rocks been found?
The youngest rocks on the moon have been found near the Apollo 11 landing site in the Ocean of Storms region. These rocks are estimated to be around 1.2 billion years old, much younger compared to the overall age of the moon.
Which is older rocks found on the moon or rocks found on the earth?
Rocks found on the moon are older because of the lack of erosive forces there. Also, the moon would have cooled more quickly from a molten state than the much larger Earth.
What have they found on the moon besides water?
rocks
What can be found on both the earth and moon?
rocks
