Abundances of 30 petrogenic, trace, and rare-earth elements are determined in lunar mare and highland soil samples obtained by Luna 16 and 20 as well as by Apollo 11 through 17. Comparison of the results with published data on the chemical composition of lunar soil in similar areas shows that many individual elements have different abundances in regolith from mare and highland areas. Correlations between the abundances of various elements are examined, and it is concluded that the results obtained reflect the compositions of the main petrogenetic provinces on the moon and are indicative of certain peculiarities in the processes of accretion, partial melting, and differentiation of lunar material.
