The Moon s core and mantlerock are almost inactive geologically.
The mantlerock of the Earth has changed in composition since the formation of the Moon, while the mantlerock of the Moon has remained chemically inert.
Much of the Earth s iron fell to the Earth s core long before the formation of the Moon, after which the Earth s mantlerock remained unchanged.
Certain of the Earth s elements, such as platinum, gold, and iridium, followed iron to the Earth s core.
The mantlerock of the Moon contains elements such as platinum, gold, and iridium.
Surprisingly enough, modern historians have rarely interested themselves in the history of the American South in the period before the South began to become self-consciously and distinctively Southern the decades after 1815. Consequently, the cultural history of Britain s North American empire in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries has been written almost as if the Southern colonies had never existed. The American culture that emerged during the Colonial and Revolutionary eras has been depicted as having been simply an extension of New England Puritan culture. However, Professor Davis has recently argued that the South stood apart from the rest of American society during this early period, following its own unique pattern of cultural development. The case for Southern distinctiveness rests upon two related premises: first, that the cultural similarities among the five Southern colonies were far more impressive than the differences, and second, that what made those colonies alike also made them different from the other colonies. The first, for which Davis offers an enormous amount of evidence, can be accepted without major reservations; the second is far more problematic.
