Which theory is supported most by the finding that the moon is similar in composition to the outer portions of Earth?
impact theory
co-formation theory
capture theory
synchronous theory
Co-formation theory is the theory that is supported most by the finding that the moon is similar in composition to the outer portions of the Earth.
Co-formation theory is therefore a theory that states that moon developed at the same time as the Earth from the solar nebula. This theory explains the origin of the moon as a body that was formed from the solar nebula at the same time and roughly at a similar place as the Earth, and also goes on to explain the location of the moon
During the formation of the moon and the earth from the primitive solar nebula , the nuclei of the moon drew materials obtained materials from the cloud of gas and dust that surrounded them. The nebular material from which the moon and the earth were formed ought to be very similar.
