Earth Formed from Melted Asteroids
(Jun 15, 2005) Many of the Earth's volcanic rocks might have come from melted asteroids, according to researchers from the UK's Open University.

These asteroids would have become layered with lighter rock forming near the surface while denser rocks were deeper inside. The Earth probably grew from the accumulation of these melted asteroids.
