Information About the Moon Subject Origin of the Moon Craters Presence of water Age of rocks in terrae highlands Age of rocks in maria plains Composition of terrae highlands Composition of maria plains Composition of mantle Current Scientific Theories Formed from material thrown from a still-liquid Earth following the impact of a giant object 4.5 billion years ago Largest craters resulted from an intense bombardment by rock objects around 3.9 billion years ago Mostly dry, but water brought in by the impact of comets may be trapped in very cold places at the poles Most are older than 4.1 billion years; highland anorthosites (igneous rocks composed almost totally of feldspar) are dated at 4.4 billion years Varies widely from 2 billion to 4.3 billion years Wide variety of rock types, but all contain more aluminum than rocks of maria plains Wide variety of basalts Varying amounts of mostly olivine and pyroxene
