Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The Moon’s surface is dominated by igneous rocks. The lunar highlands are formed of anorthosite, an igneous rock predominantly of calcium-rich plagioclase feldspar.

Detailed explanation-2: -The composition of the Moon is much like that of the Earth. Its rocks are similar to Earth rocks and contain many but not all of the same minerals. However, the Moon has no atmosphere, it shows no trace of past or present life, and its rocks contain no water.

Detailed explanation-3: -Moon rock or lunar rock is rock originating from Earth’s Moon. This includes lunar material collected during the course of human exploration of the Moon, and rock that has been ejected naturally from the Moon’s surface and landed on Earth as meteorites.

Detailed explanation-4: -There are four types of rocks commonly found on the Moon: Basalt, Breccia, Highlands, and Regolith (or surface soil). The rocks on the Moon are the result of impact events, or meteoric collisions, throughout the Moon’s history.

Detailed explanation-5: -The mass of the Moon is sufficient to eliminate any voids within the interior, so it is estimated to be composed of solid rock throughout.
