Most of the information about Earth's interior was obtained by studying seismic waves generated by earthquakes. These waves travel through the Earth and provide valuable insights into its structure and composition. Scientists also analyze rocks from volcanic eruptions and drill core samples to further understand Earth's interior.
Lunar rocks are those forming the Moon - as the word 'lunar' says. Earth rocks are formed on Earth - but the rock forming the Moon is also a constituent of the Earth.
The three main types of rocks on Earth are igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic rocks. Igneous rocks are formed from the cooling and solidification of magma or lava. Sedimentary rocks are created from the accumulation and compaction of sediment particles. Metamorphic rocks are rocks that have undergone changes in temperature and pressure, often deep within the Earth's crust.
Yes, rocks are part of geology, which is an earth science.
Rocks were brought back to the Earth from the various Moon landings the Americans undertook. No other rocks from the Moon are on Earth. The Moon was formed from the Earth - so, if anything, there are Earth rocks on the Moon.
Moon rocks resemble rocks from the Earth's crust layer. They are predominantly composed of igneous rocks like basalt and anorthosite, similar to those found on Earth's crust.
Minerals that make up moon rocks are the same minerals that are found on Earth. Some moon rocks have minerals that combine to form kinds of rocks that are not found on Earth. BlueStar(:

Two points here: rocks are solidified material--early Earth was molten. The first rocks appeared after the molten Earth cooled somewhat. Secondly, Earth's rocks are constantly being recycled through the 'rock cycle'. The oldest rocks on Earth have somehow survived those recycling efforts, but no rock found on Earth (other than some meteorites) is as old as the planet.
Indeed there are. Lots of rocks.
