Question

Chapter 2.4.1. The ______ energy lost by the inward movement of nickel-iron within a differentiating molten planetary body would be converted first into _______ energy and then into ______ energy. a. momentum, thermal, gravitational b. gravitational, kinetic, thermal c. thermal, momentum, kinetic d. kinetic, thermal, gravitational

Answer 1

Answer:b. gravitational, kinetic, thermal

Explanation:

The above explains the mechanism of the core forming process on earth/planet.

It is believed that this process might has contributed significantly to a planet's early stages heating. The time when these core-forming event happened is thought to have been mainly completed very early when Earth was young . The type of this event rather than it being seen as a single catastrophic event, it is likely to have been as a result of contractions on the earth severally.

The addition of partially differentiated material from another giant impact the rate of this spasm , and it increases each time the planet's mass is to increased.

This is a little on the history of planetary evolution.
