Full Description

This exam focuses on the geochemical and petrological characteristics of lunar basalts, exploring their formation processes through volcanic and magmatic activities on the Moon's surface.

The understanding of lunar basaltic geology enhances insights into planetary differentiation and the thermal evolution of the Moon. This knowledge is foundational for developing models of other terrestrial bodies.

Students will be assessed on their ability to effectively articulate the compositional variations and formation mechanisms of lunar basalts, alongside discussing their implications for lunar history.

Candidates may also be prompted to relate lunar basalt studies to broader planetary geological contexts and to draw parallels with analogous processes observed on Earth.

Sample Questions

  • What are the primary compositional differences found in lunar basalts compared to Earth basalts?
  • How do volcanic processes on the Moon inform our understanding of planetary evolution?
