Scientific paper

During the period of heavy bombardment, mantle differentiation would be induced by two processes. One is the extraction of melt formed at the ascending region of mantle convection due to adiabatic decompression (endogenic process). The other is the differentiation induced by impact melting (exogenic process). We estimate the volume production rate of melt by each process to clarify quantitative importance of the exogenic processes on the early Earth.
