Answer 2

The hypothesis that the moon experienced extensive volcanic eruptions in the past is supported by the samples of lunar rock that were collected by the Apollo missions.

Step-by-step explanation:

• The Appollo missions came home with two distinct samples of rocks which were found at the landing site of the Appollo 11.

• These samples were taken from 13 centimeters below the Lunar surface and consisted of basalt and breccias rocks.

• The basalt rock sample that was found on the moon was identical in composition with the basalt rock that is commonly found on the Earth.

• It is observed that there is an abundance of basalt rock on the moon.

• Thus, it is concluded that the moon experienced extensive volcanic eruptions in the past.
