Linked from

The 12 pages that link to Lunar magma ocean, each with the reason it gives.

• Giant-impact hypothesisRelated: Its crystallization history is consistent with a hot Moon assembled from energetic debris.

• MoonBroader topic: Its crystallization offers an explanation for the Moon’s layered crust and mineral distribution.

• AnorthositeRelated: Plagioclase flotation during its crystallization is a leading explanation for lunar anorthosite.

• Lunar highlandsRelated: Crystallization of this ocean is the leading explanation for the highlands’ anorthositic crust.

• Earth's MoonRelated: Its crystallization helps explain the Moon's early crust and mineral layering.

• CosmochemistryRelated: Lunar samples test models of planetary differentiation and the Moon's early chemical evolution.

• Lunar mareNarrower topic: Its crystallization set the composition of the crust beneath later mare eruptions.

• Pre-NectarianRelated: Its crystallization established the crust that was later battered during this period.

• EratosthenianNarrower topic: Its crystallization created the crust and mantle that later supplied mare volcanism.

• Geology of the MoonBroader topic: Its cooling and crystallization account for the Moon’s earliest crust and mantle differentiation.

• Internal structure of the MoonRelated: Its crystallization explains the separation of crust, mantle, and dense materials.

• Origin of the MoonRelated: A hot debris disk could form a molten Moon whose cooling left distinctive crustal evidence.
