Essential Questions How do igneous rocks form?

Igneous Rocks. Igneous Rock Formation: Molten rock cools and becomes solid. Some igneous rocks form when magma below the surface slowly cools and hardens.

Minerals and Origin of the Moon Triana Henz

Formation Theories Fission Capture Co-formation Giant Impact

Data High angular momentum Low iron core Identical abundances of oxygen isotopes

Giant Impact Exchange

Giant Impact Uncertainty Faster cooling rate Rotation of disk might have inhibited radial diffusion Either enrich or same as the Earth in REE, thorium, uranium, zirconium and FeO

Mineral Make up Thick crust has feldspar and pyroxene Feldspar is mainly anorthite (CaAl2Si2O8 ), especially if the melt is pyroxene and olivine rich Low density means that it most likely doesn’t have an iron core Same density as ordinary rock

Phenomenon Pristine highland rocks are extremely rare Probably due to “gardening” of the surface Highland is made from molten lunar material that crystallized slowly from deep inside Magma ocean froze over Radioactive isotopes decayed, warming up interior Basalt erupted to low areas

Composition Olivine: dense, in interiors and lava Pyroxene: constituent in interiors where metallic iron is present Feldspar: less dense, crust Ilmenite: lava, titanium bearing

Composition Eutectic composition can shift with pressure Determine depth of lava source

Composition REE fit in where they can Feldspars rejects lighter REE Feldspars accepts denser REE Pyroxene is opposite Olivine rejects all Europium (Eu) is a characteristic of feldspars
