Planet Differentiation (Earth), Habitability (Earth) - Coggle Diagram
Planet Differentiation (Earth)
Lithosphere(1)
Gravity Heating
Elemental Differentiation
Heavy (Fe) to Core
Light (Si) to Mantle/Crust
Vulcanism/Outgassing (2)
Internal Heat maintained w/ Radioactivity
Vulcanism Mixes Elements
Lighter Gasses Expelled to surface
Atmosphere (CO2, H2O, N2) Begins
Hydrosphere (3)
Water from Vulcan and Comets
Cooling condenses H2O into Oceans
Hydrologic Cycle begins
Atmosphere (4)
Hydrogen lost to space
CO2 - weathering (acid), Life stimulate
N2 - Stabilizes reactive Atmosphere
Biology alters - O2, NH4, CH4
Habitability (Earth)
Climate Stability
Magnetic Field
Iron Core
Plate Tectonics
Habitable Zone (Temp)
Liguid Water
