Indirectly, it has been deduced that the origin of KREEP is contained in the origin of the Moon. This is now commonly thought to be the result of a rocky object the size of Mars that struck the Earth about 4.5 billion (4.5×10) years ago. This collision threw a large amount of broken rock into orbit around the Earth. T...
