How is the Moon covered mostly fine dust if the erosion forces of wind, water, and plate tectonics do not exist?

If I remember right there was a point where the moon had mildly active plate tectonics (correct me if I'm wrong), but I still don't understand what other than meteor impacts could cause any erosion on the surface, let alone enough to make a fine dust.

Also on a side note, I know that relative to Earth meteoroids are called meteors when traveling through the atmosphere and meteorites when they've impacted the ground, but how should they be referenced in relation to the moon since it has no atmosphere?

Edit: Despite proofreading my post I still have a typo in my title. Frick.

Meteors are enough to create the regolith.  The moon (and the earth) are constantly bombarded with them, the earth has an atmosphere that burns most of them up before they hit the ground.  The moon having no atmosphere has no such protection.
