What does KREEP mean in Scrabble?
noun
technical
A basaltic lunar rock material rich in potassium, rare earth elements, and phosphorus.
Kreep gets its name from those three chemical ingredients, and geologists use the word both for the rock itself and for the distinct chemical signature it leaves in lunar samples. Scientists first identified kreep in material returned by the Apollo missions, and finding kreep in a sample helps them work out how parts of the Moon's crust cooled and formed. Unlike ordinary lunar basalt, kreep is unusually concentrated in elements that are otherwise rare across the Moon's surface.
