The hypotheses of Moon formation can be matched to their descriptions as follows: the capture hypothesis relates to the Moon being locked into Earth's orbit; the accretion hypothesis involves the combining of planetesimals; the giant impact theory refers to a. .

[FREE] Match each hypothesis for how the Moon formed with the statement that best describes it. Let's go! Match each hypothesis for how the Moon formed with the statement that best describes it. The Moon was formed from the collision between Earth and another. . Most of the earlier hypotheses for the Moon's origin followed one of three general ideas: The fission theory—the Moon was once part of Earth, but somehow separated from it early in their history.
