Research Reveals 99 Percent of Earth's Gold Buried in One Place

Research Reveals 99 Percent of Earth's Gold Buried in One Place  - It turns out that 99% of Earth's gold is stored in one location. However, humans cannot enjoy this gold because it is deep in the Earth's core.  "What we can conclude is that 99 percent of the Earth's gold content is in its core," said researcher Bernard Wood from Macquarie University.  Wood and his team managed to find the location of the gold through research. The research came from inspiration regarding asteroids that have a similar composition to Earth.  They measured the composition of carbonaceous chondrites in meteorites from the asterite. From there, the composition of the asteroid becomes a reference for measuring the composition of Earth's materials.  The results revealed that elements insoluble in molten iron would not exist in the Earth's core. So there are elements that are abundant in the crust compared to the core.  The research team's assumption is
