If this crust is uniform over the Moon, it would. Moons volume as compared to the less than. Earth. The seismic determinations of a crust and mantle on. Moon indicate a layered planet with differentiation by igneous. There is no evidence for an iron rich core unless it were a. Seismic information has influenced theories about the. Moon. The Moon was heavily bombarded early in its history. Meteoritic. impacts brought a variety of exotic rocks to the Moon. The impacts also. Moon rocks of great depth and distributed their fragments. The underlying crust was also thinned and cracked, allowing molten basalt. Because the Moon has. Earth. Rocks more than 4 billion years old still exist. Earth. Geological activity on the Moon consists of. It is thus considered geologically dead. With such an active early. Moon is considered fossilized in time. The Apollo and Luna missions returned.

This concentration may be explained by the fact that the. Moons center of mass is offset from its geometric center by about. Earth, probably because the crust is thicker on the. It is possible, therefore, that basalt magmas rising from the. Mare rocks are basalt and most date from. Some fragments in highland breccias date to. The maria average only a few hundred meters in thickness but are. The relatively bright, heavily cratered highlands are called terrae. The craters and basins in the highlands are formed by meteorite impact. The dominant rock type in this region contain high contents of. Most. terrae breccias are composed of still older breccia fragments. Other. terrae samples are fine grained crystalline rocks formed by shock. Nearly all of the. The intense bombardment began 4.
