Accretionary Differentiation

Accretionary Differentiation is a geological process—in the broader class of planetary differentiation mechanisms—that specifically results from the progressive accumulation and gravitational segregation of chemically distinct materials during the early stages of planetary body formation, leading to the development of compositionally layered interiors.
