Core Mantle Structure

Core Mantle Structure is a planetary differentiation model that specifies the concentric stratification of a terrestrial planet into a dense metallic core and a overlying silicate mantle, distinguished by differences in composition, density, and rheological behavior resulting from gravitational separation during planetary accretion and igneous processes.
