... segregated into distinct layers. Explain what caused this segregation to happen. Answer: Billions of years ago, the decay of radioactive elements and heat generated by the colliding of particles, caused Earth’s interior to melt. This allowed Earth’s interior to segregate based on density. The denser ...
