Answer to Question 1

Answer: Earth's metallic core separated from the mantle by planetary differentiation in a global magma ocean. Very dense metallic compounds separated from lower-density silicate compounds to produce a metallic core and a silicate mineral mantle. As Earth cooled, crystallization and inward settling of iron metal caused distinction of a solid inner core and a remaining molten outer core. The mantle solidified into silicate minerals with a chemical composition similar to peridotite. Very high temperatures within early Earth resulted from collisions with accreting embryos and higher hear production by radioactive decay.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: A

Did you know?

It is believed that the Incas used anesthesia. Evidence supports the theory that shamans chewed cocoa leaves and drilled holes into the heads of patients (letting evil spirits escape), spitting into the wounds they made. The mixture of cocaine, saliva, and resin numbed the site enough to allow hours of drilling.

Did you know?

Oliver Wendell Holmes is credited with introducing the words "anesthesia" and "anesthetic" into the English language in 1846.

Did you know?

Ether was used widely for surgeries but became less popular because of its flammability and its tendency to cause vomiting. In England, it was quickly replaced by chloroform, but this agent caused many deaths and lost popularity.

Did you know?

The first war in which wide-scale use of anesthetics occurred was the Civil War, and 80% of all wounds were in the extremities.

Did you know?

Interferon was scarce and expensive until 1980, when the interferon gene was inserted into bacteria using recombinant DNA technology, allowing for mass cultivation and purification from bacterial cultures.
