10 pts D Question 3 The currently accepted theory for the creation of the Moon O holds that the Moon was captured fully formed O states that a big hunk of the Earth broke off due to the rapid rotation of the Earth O says Earth was struck by a Mars-sized object and the debris coaelesced into the Moon O is different than all of the above

Answer 1

Answer:

says Earth was struck by a Mars-sized object and the debris coalesced into the Moon

Explanation:

• The formation of the moon is highlighted by the Giant impact hypothesis or the big splash. It suggests that the moon has been formed out of the debris left by the collision of earth and the mars about 4.5 billion years ago.

• Thus earth and moon have similar orbital spins, moon samples indicate that surface was once molten rock, it has a relatively small iron core, and is if the lower density of the earth.  

• In 1898 G.Darwin suggested that moon and earth were formed from the same rocks. Like it has been found that the debris continued to spin around the orbit of the planet and layer on accumulating to form the moon, which is suggested by the debris coalescence hypothesis.
