Why does mercury have such a big core?

Scientists believe that when in the formation, it was hit by a large object after it differentiated and lost most of it's materials from outer layers (crust + mantle); leaving mostly iron. Another possibility is that it at that part of the disk from where it was formed had more iron than other areas.

In the Earth's mantle heat is transferred in large convection currents. Within these currents?

, hot material rises towards the surface and cooler material sinks back down towards the Earth's core. This is called mantle convection and is driven by the heat generated from the Earth's core and the heat released from radioactive decay within the mantle. The motion of these convection currents is responsible for plate tectonics and the movement of continents over time.


What do scientists believe your galaxies was created from?

Scientists believe that galaxies were formed from the gravitational collapse of large clouds of gas and dust in the early universe. As these clouds collapsed, they formed smaller structures that eventually evolved into galaxies. The exact mechanisms of galaxy formation are still an area of active research in astrophysics.

Why do scientists think that quasars emit a large amount of energy?

Scientists think that quasars emit a large amount of energy because they believe each quasar has an incredibly large black hole in the center of it. They believe a torus, or disk of dust and gas, has material that falls near the black hole causing it to hear to millions of degrees that accelerates the reaction outward.

Which element is not found in large quantities in Earth mantle?

Oxygen is not found in large quantities in the Earth's mantle as it is more abundant in the Earth's crust and atmosphere compared to the mantle. The most abundant elements in the Earth's mantle are oxygen, silicon, magnesium, and iron.
