Analysis of the Evolution of the Moon and the Possible Dynamics of Its Body

Abstract

The topography of the Moon’s surface and the possible distribution of density anomalies in its interior have been determined for the early stage of the Moon’s evolution. The distribution of gravitational anomalies and gravitational potential in various layers of the upper mantle has been found, which is due to the gravitational influence of anomalous structures of the crust and mantle. The analysis of the results leads to the conclusion about the possibility of convective motions in the molten electrically conductive layers of the crust and mantle, which could create an ancient magnetic field. For the current state of the lunar density structure, gravitational anomalies in various layers, which may lead to solid-state convection in some solidified regions of the Moon, have also been identified.
