Question

  1. how is the composition of a meteorite relevant to finding out the composition of earths core? (10 points)

Explanation:

Answer:

Meteorites are leftover materials from the solar system's formation, so iron-nickel meteorites (chondrites/iron meteorites) are thought to match the composition of Earth's iron-nickel core, as they represent the dense, metallic components that sank to form Earth's core during planetary differentiation.
