MOON: QUIZ: ITS COMPOSITION & ANS.KEY W/ASTRONOMY WRITING PROMPT
This quiz has interesting information about the moon's composition. There is some basalt on the moon, like the Earth but there are many differences. There is a difference in the thickness on one side of the moon, as compared to the other. An answer key is provided. We do not know why. A free writing prompt is attached about how the moon has been in free fall for millions of years. Thanks ever so much for visiting and supporting our humble shop. Much obliged. Excelsior!
