What is the process by which denser materials settled in core of moon?

The process by which denser materials settled in the core of the Moon is known as differentiation. During the Moon's formation, it was initially molten due to intense heat from impacts and radioactive decay. As it cooled, heavier elements, such as iron and nickel, migrated toward the center, forming the core, while lighter materials rose to the surface, leading to the formation of the crust and mantle. This separation of materials is a common process in planetary formation and contributes to the Moon's current layered structure.
