Differentiation is the process in planetary formation when heavy materials sink toward the planet's center and lighter materials accummulate near its surface. The term differentiation is a scientific term which really means "to separate". Planetary elements which separate include iron, which is heavy and silicate rock, which is lighter. Iron falls to the center of a planet and forms a core, silicate material stays in the middle, ice stays near the top.
