Which of these events most likely happened during the formation of Earth's lithosphere?
klasskru [66]

The heaviest elements settled in the Earth's center during the formation of Earth's lithosphere

<u>Explanation:</u>

Earth's lithosphere comprises the crust and the uppermost mantle, which form the strong and rigid external layer of the Earth.

The Earth, on the other hand, begins with a core of iron and radioactive materials such as uranium and plutonium, which deliver energy in the form of heat, within a process known as nuclear fission. It passed by a fusion stage - a "liquid-pasty" state - which provided that, due to gravity, the more solid materials dropped towards the center, while the smaller ones floated towards the crust, a process called planetary differentiation.
