For sure. It was almost like a molten lava planet. It was so hot, that heavier elements like iron sunk to to core of the Earth.

Earth started off as ball of hot as a ball of hot molten rock?

Yes, Earth formed about 4.5 billion years ago from dust and gas surrounding the young Sun. Its initial state was a hot, molten ball due to intense heat generated from the gravitational compression of materials during its formation. As Earth cooled, its surface solidified into the rocky crust that we recognize today.


Why was the Earth extremely hot during its formation?

It and the other planets condensed from an accretion-disc of gas and dust (of the elements) and these heated by compression as they collected material at high velocity onto their original cores by gravity.


What are hot molten rocks from the interior of the earth called?

Hot molten rocks from the interior of the earth are called magma when they are beneath the earth's surface and lava when they reach the surface through volcanic eruptions.


Was earth a big fire ball at birth?

Yes, shortly after its formation about 4.6 billion years ago, Earth was indeed a hot and molten ball of rock due to the energy released during the accretion process. This molten state eventually cooled down, forming a solid crust that allowed for the development of oceans and continents over time.


Why is it hot at the core of the Earth?

The Earth's core is made of extremely hot metal under intense pressure, surrounded by a layer of extremely hot molten metal. Because of the force of gravity, many of the heavy radioactive metals have concentrated here, and the heat is caused by the radioactive decay.


What is hot molten rock deep in the earth's crust?

magma

During which stage of the moon's development was the surface covered with hot molten rock?

During the moon's formation shortly after its creation, the surface was covered with hot molten rock during the "lunar magma ocean" stage. This occurred around 4.5 billion years ago when the moon was still forming and undergoing intense geological activity.


What layer of earth is made up of hot molten rocks?

The outer core is the only molten layer of the Earth. == ==


What is hot molten rock that reaches the earth's surface called?

Molten rock (magma) that spews from a volcano is called lava, When it cools, the lava forms igneous rocks.


Description of Hot Lava?

Hot lava is molten rock that erupts from a volcano during an eruption. It is extremely hot, with temperatures reaching over 1,000 degrees Celsius. As it flows, it can cause fire, burns, and destruction to its surroundings.
