a fact about the moon

Its rocky mantle is about 825 miles
(1,330km)thick and made up of dense rocks rich in iron and magnesium. Magmas in the mantle made their way to the surface in the past and erupted volcanically for more then a billion years- from at least four billion years ago to fewer then three billion years past.
