Hello readers today I am doing an animation on the moon formation using the giant impact theory…
HOPE YOU ENJOY!!!
Theory…
the giant moon formation is a theory where a Mars sized body came in impact with the proto-earth the earth at this time was a little bigger than the mars named body called theia, Theia had entered the Proto Earth’s atmosphere and was being caught by earths gravity though theia had done the same and was dragging earth as well each one caught by each other. eventually they made impact and theia obliterated earths side and created a ring of debris the earth sucked in all the left over pieces of theia making earth bigger again though by now the proto earth had a ring of debris from the impact. eventually the big piece of theia that was left made impact again and again until theia’s gravity was no longer enough and earth sucked up the debris surrounding while making the former theia its new moon and so that’s how the moon came about.
Evidence…
The evidence behind this Theory is that the moon and earth of today’s age have a similar rock surface of each other, which makes the impact theory more possible because they most likely traded rock when they were crashing into each other, we know this because there were missions sent out one of them being Apollo had been tasked with bringing back the rock on the moon back to earth and when they tested the rock it came out to be very similar.
What was proto earth?…
The proto earth was a early molten version of our earth that existed a total of 4.5 billion years. The impact with theia dramatically changed the planets chemistry by a huge amount. It changed by melting its internal body and making the current earth out of its left over debris.
Slide description…
On my slide I show the events and even how the earth changes after the moon is formed first I show the proto earth and theia pulling each other close together than I show the 2 impacts and the formation of the moon before the transformation of the earth. Here is the slideshow animation that I have done.
What theory is most likely?…
The most likely theory is the one that I have mentioned in this blog post I believe this because this theory has much more evidence than all the other theory’s that have been concluded there are 3 that stand out but this one rises above the other ones for the most evidence and logic following
