I may have the answer but it will take a lot of thinking about. Just beyond Mars is the Asteroid belt. Which contains a lot of rocks etc. It also contains large lumps of Iron/Nickel. I believe that a large lump of this Iron/nickel was knocked out of the Asteroid belt and was sent flying towards the newly forming Earth. However Mars was in the way. Actually, its moon. The iron/nickel hit Mars moon shattering it into three parts.( it you look at the part of the moon that are left you can clearly see an impact crater on one of the parts. There are only two parts as the third part hit mars. If you look at Mars you can again see a huge crater. this damage destabilized Mars and the life that was there started to die and the Sea started to evaporate as the magnetic core of Mars slowly cooled. The Iron/nickel core then crashed into the newly forming earth and embedded itself. The shock wave created finally hit Mars and ripped what was left of its atmosphere. The Iron/nickel melted under the extreme heat as the planet reformed and I think that is where the Earth got its Iron/nickel core. As it hit the earth a large amount of material was ejected. Most of this fell back to earth but some gathered together to form our moon.
This however is all only theory but it does explain quite a lot if you think about it.
What else can I help you with?
Why do geologists think that the core of the Earth is mostly iron?
The composition of the Earth's core (iron and nickel) is implied by the elemental composition of meteorites, which contain substantial iron. The gravitational field of Earth also suggests an average density that is consistent with a large iron content. Additionally, the Earth's magnetic field is assumed to depend on a large core of ferromagnetic elements.
Is there large molten core on the Earth?
Yes, the Earth has a large molten core composed of iron and nickel. This core is responsible for generating the planet's magnetic field and plays a crucial role in Earth's geology and internal processes.
Which element makes up a large percentage of Earths core and a much smaller percentage of the crust?
The principle element found at the Earth's core is iron.
What is the iron core?
The core of Earth
How is earth a magnetic field?
The earth's magnetic field is caused by the fact that the earth has a moltern iron core. When moltern iron spins it causes an electric field. This causes an electromagnetic field. Some planets are too large or too small for the iron in their core to be molten.
What elements are in iron?
Iron is an element. It has an atomic number of 26, and by mass, it's the most common element that makes up the Earth ... a large part of Earth's core is iron. Iron is the only element in pure iron.
Does earth have an iron core?
The earth's molten core is believed to be composed of iron, and some nickel, yes.
What is in the core of the earth?
The inner core is mainly solid iron, with a liquid iron outer core.
Where is the Iron core located in the earth?
The iron core is located at the center of the Earth, beneath the mantle and surrounded by the outer core. It is divided into an outer core, which is liquid, and an inner core, which is solid due to high pressure. The iron core plays a crucial role in generating the Earth's magnetic field.
Is there granite in the Earth's core?
No. The Earth's core is composed of iron and nickel.
Is the earth's core made up of copper and iron?
It is supposed that the Earth core is composed from iron and nickel.
Which core of the earth is made of granite and salt?
The core of Earth is mad of iron and nickel. The crust, not the core, is made largely of iron and basalt.
