Earth’s volatile contents established by melting and vaporisation

The silicate Earth is strongly depleted in moderately volatile elements (e.g. Pb, Zn, In, alkalis) relative to CI chondrites, the meteorites which compositionally most closely resemble the Sun1. Qualitatively the depletion “trend” may be explained by accretion of 10-20% of a volatile-rich body to a...
