THE INTERIOR OF THE MOON

The interior of the moon is layered into a hard outer crust,a rigid outer mantle,a semi-rigid  inner mantle, and a core. The interior of the moon is cooler than the interior of the earth. Since the moon is so small,it loses its heat quickly into space.Since the earth and the moon formed,the moon has cooled down muchmore than the ear

CRUST: The moon,s surface is dry,dusty,and rocky. The rocky crust is about 60 Km on the side of the moon that faces earth and about 100 km thick on the opposite face.

RIGID LITHOSPHERIC MANTLE: Thisrocky layer is not hot enough to flow. This hard shell is about 1000km thick.

NON-RIGID MANTLE:  Only the deepest parts of this asthenospheric layer are hot enogh to flow

CORE: The non-fluid core may be composed of iron-rich rock.The core contains only about 2-4 percent of the moons total mass; this cover is probably about 225 miles
