Why moon does not have lithosphere?

The moon does have a lithosphere, it is just different from Earth's lithosphere. The moon's lithosphere is much thinner and not as actively tectonically active as Earth's. It is composed of solid, rigid rock that overlies the moon's mantle, similar to Earth's lithosphere.


Which is better call of the dead or moon?

Moon


Why are the oldest rocks found on earth younger than the oldest lunar lock that Apollo brought back from the moon?

The Earth is still tectonically active and because Earth has weather. The tectonic activity refreshes the crust as some plates are forced under others, removing old rock from the surface, and things like the sea floor spreading and volcanic activity producing all new crust. Additionally, the weather on the Earth constantly works to erode existing crust and wash it into the oceans.The moon is neither terctonically active nor is there weather. The moon is, in planetary science terms, dead. There is no process to remove old surface rocks and replace with new ones.

No, Buzz Aldrin was not buried on the moon. He is still alive as of the latest information available.


Are there moon quakes on the moon?

The moon does not have moon quakes; it appears to be 'geologically' dead. The moon's core is smaller in proportion than is earth's core. At one time the moon was volcanically active, but it is no longer. It has cooled sufficiently so that internal energy is no longer sufficient to produce such activity.
