a large object struck Earth, and ejected material from the collision combined.
Scientists don't think the moon came from the Pacific Ocean. Instead, the leading hypothesis is that the moon was formed from a giant impact between Earth and a Mars-sized object called Theia, about 4.5 billion years ago. This collision would have ejected debris that eventually coalesced to form the moon.
The reason that this was that it was once the only thing that scientists could use to explain why the moon had so many craters on it (which we now know to be the product of meteorite and asteroid collisions).
Europa - a moon of Jupiter.
Telescopes, Space missions, probes all help scientists discover more about the moon.
Many scientists think that the moon was originated when a large meteor hit the Earth, knocking a chunk off of it. The chunk most likely came from somewhere within the current Pacific Ocean.

Scientists n there theories are uncertain still of how the moon formed about'
No one really knows how the Moon was formed. There are a few different hypothesis but not all scientists agree on one. Wikipedia has a short version of 4 of them.

Most scientists believe that the Moon was formed about 4.5 billion years ago when a large Mars-sized object collided with Earth, ejecting material that eventually coalesced to form the Moon. This is known as the giant impact hypothesis.
they think it was once part of the earth and then somehow was hit and broke away from us, but staying in our gravitational pull...
Scientists have this theory on how the moon was formed: They believe that when the Earth was still a bubbly hot lava thing, something the size of Mars struck Earth, and bits and specks of particles flew everywhere. Gravity pulls it together, and it makes the Moon. Scientists think of this as the best logical theory as to how the Moon was formed, and that the Earth could be just a bit older than the Moon.
i think when the moon cooled down.
Scientists think that Barbados was formed about almost a million years ago.
because....
When science was gored
the Bryce canyon was formed over 70 million years ago.
