No. Heavier elements were created by nuclear reactions in previous generations of stars.
yes
-- the massses of the two masses that are being pulled together by gravity -- the distance between them
They are being pulled by the force of gravity
everything is pulled by gravity. solids, liquids, everything...
First of all, the atmosphere is the air. Secondly, air is matter, all matter is affected by gravity. Imagine this: the sea is liquid, it lies on the earth, pulled by gravity. the atmosphere is also like this except it is a "sea" of air, it lies on the earth, pulled by gravity.

because the heavier elements are pulled toward center of the earth by gravity

It was gravity.
Heavier sediments are more easily pulled down by gravity in slower waters. But they also have the chance to clump together with other sediments and become heavy enough to be pulled down. In faster waters, it pulls the grains and material apart before it can settle and has a stronger force than the pull of gravity.
Gravity pulled together the tiny bits of matter that eventually formed the Earth.
they have less mass. heavier objects have a great mass so it gets pulled down faster..... by a little thing called......gravity!

Definitely yes. But very slowly.Additional answerOne side is heavier than the other and is pulled by gravity to always face the Earth.
Yes. the mutually attracting forces of gravity hold the moon and earth together and cause the earth's tidal forces.

A planetoid about the size of Mars crashed into the early Earth likely pulled out a a Lagrange point by Jupiter's gravity. Then pulled into the Earth by both bodies gravity, in an off-center hit sending debris into space and leaving a small portion in space with the added Earth debris that was pulled together by gravity again into the moon. As it drags along its slow orbit it's slowly being pulled away at about an inch a year because the gravity of Earth isn't supporting it so well (for reasons I won't go into here.) Gravity can only be significantly felt between objects with a very large mass, like the Earth and Moon. Which is why you dont feel a gravitational attraction between you and your computer. The Moon formed when gravity pulled pieces of rock and debris together into one big rock.
