On the Possible Differences in the Bulk Chemical Composition of the Earth and the Moon Forming in the Circumterrestrial Swarm

  • Chapter
The Moon

Part of the book series: International Astronomical Union/Union Astronomique Internationale ((IAUS,volume 47))

Abstract

The model of the origin of the Moon in the circumterrestrial swarm during the active stage of the Earth’s growth [1, 2] receives now a support (see e.g. [3]). In this model the feeding substance is the same for both bodies. However two different processes may be mentioned of chemical fractionation between the Earth and the Moon.
