Abstract
This chapter presents an overview of the main conditions demanded by the experimental data that the models of the Earth’s formation have to satisfy. We suggest a new model of the Earth’s heterogeneous accumulation. The results of the numerical modeling, presented in this chapter, of the temperature distribution in the pre-planetary body allow us to determine that the heat released due to the decay of short-living radioactive elements can provide the melted state in the inner parts of bodies with sizes greater than 50 km.
