Metal-silicate Segregation

Metal-Silicate Segregation is a geophysical process in planetary differentiation whereby molten metallic components, primarily iron and nickel, separate from silicate minerals due to density differences and gravitational settling, leading to the formation of a metallic core and a silicate mantle during the early accretion and heating phases of terrestrial planet formation.
