The relative concentration of elements on lunar surface compared to earth's surface is known as regolith.
Not at all. Volcanic craters are formed by volcanic action pushing up the earth's crust and melting out the middle area while spewing debris. Lunar craters are formed when meteorites hit the soft lunar regolith. The regolith is pushed aside explosively and leaves an indentation in the impact site.
Soil is actually a bit misleading when discussing the moon's samples. The word soil implies moisture and other organic molecules and organisms. The lunar surface is actually covered in what is called regolith. The Lunar Regolith is made up almost completely of pulverized rock from meteorite and micrometeorite impacts.
The oxide Al2O3 is 24 % of the lunar surface.
The content of CaO in the lunar crust is 15,9 %.
