That's non-controversial, regular knowledge right? That the proto iron age happened all over in 1 or 2 centuries in which meteors dropped iron from the sky. It was in regular history books when i was a kid.
They always brush right over why it was raining iron. Isn't that crazy wth is that about?
Iron is pretty common all around earth's surface(though due to its density most of it went to the mantle and core), but it ain't that easy to melt, that's why humans used copper and bronze tools first, and then the forging technology eventually allowed for the smithing of iron tools and weapons.
This is also one of the reasons there's so much legends in all cultures about magic swords. It's a weapon made from a rock that, for all they knew, the gods threw from the sky, that fact oughta make the blade unique, somehow.
Still, not such a thing as iron seeding, just humans figuring out a way of making better stuff.
It's #26 and only has atomic weight of 55. That means it's at the top of the LIGHTEST elements. Why and how could it go to the core? They say the core is 9,400 F. Iron boils away to a vapor at 5,100. How would that work. Also, iron holds NO magnetism above 450 F or so.
Its at the BOTTOM of the lightest elements. Each element gives off energy when its created in fusion. Up to (and including) iron they give off more energy than they cost to create. This means that in a stellar explosion iron will be the last in the fusion chain. After 26 they get more and more rare because it costs more energy to make it than it gives off and they will only be created from neutron capture. This means more iron will be produced than all elements heavier than it.
No one said there was only iron in the core. It's just by far the most abundant. It's also in all the other layers of the Earth, as are all the other elements. It isn't a nice perfect little layer cake. It was (probably) made with a lot of impacts over a long period of time. Think of it more like a raisin cake with raisins all over, with a bonus raisin center.
Boiling point is a function of temperature and pressure, not just temperature. The higher the pressure, the higher the boiling point. The pressure is very high at the center of the Earth.
It creates a dynamo effect. A dynamo is the creation of a magnetic field from a rotating induced electric field.
I bet wiki. Trust me that I know the standard story. Half-truth and non-science from years ago. Prolly should chk snoops, or a geo-physical journal.
I love how people dismiss wikipedia, as if its automatically false. I use wikipedia when it tells the same story as every place else but in a simpler manner. In this case I only used one wikipedia reference. Did you check past the first one?
I can go through the math of it if that will help you. I can show you physics books that tell the same thing. I can point you to experiments that show the same thing. What evidence would you like?
I can provide any level of detail to support what I just showed you that you want.
You asked questions, I answered them. After I showed you the answer, you did not say what was wrong with the answer, you only attempted to discredit the source, without addressing the argument. That is not an attempt to get to the truth, but an attempt to resolve cognitive dissonance with a result of confirmation bias.
If you have determined that no matter what evidence I show you, I must be wrong, then there is literally no evidence that will change your mind. Do you know what its called when no evidence will change someone's mind? On this board when we are talking about the vaxxed, we call that insanity.
Electric universe look up See The Pattern yt chnl
6,000 years ago we got a mid-cycle solar eruption of H, O, Li, Fe, as well as N and some Fl. Star water. The H and O combine of their own and emit huge electric discharge and the earth passes through rain and ice and falling mud,... for like 40 days or so.
Basically a micronova event.
Whoa
The core part is, as far as we know, due to the pressure exherted by the weight of literally the whole world resting above it that keeps it all held together. Can't answer for the magnetism part.
That makes no sense. The core just went from molten to highly compressed gas. On the other hand we have all the actual heavy elements,...2x, 3x, even 4x as heavy all over the surface.
To be honest, I'm also confused as to why they say the core is made of iron and nickel, when lead,gold or uranium are far denser.
No it literally dropped around and was worked.
You've never heard of Mecca?
Ah, the place where the extremely murder-happy supposedly abrahamic monotheists worship a black rock by walking in circles around. At least the catholics would've made a neat saint statue or it or cover it in gold and jewels or something.
