  1. Planetary Differentiation Processes

    Linked via "Hydrostatic Vapor Trapping (HVT)"

    Differentiation is not purely a function of high-temperature silicate/metal fractionation. The outgassing and sequestration of volatile compounds (e.g., water ($\text{H}2\text{O}$), carbon dioxide ($\text{CO}2$), and noble gases) define the outer layers of the planet.
    On terrestrial planets, volatiles are concentrated in the crust and atmosphere through a process termed **[Hydros…
