How can there be gold in the upper layers of the earth crust?

while most people believe the earth was once completely liquid, because it was so hot. The gold should have been fallen to the center of the earth because of its high density.

  1. Gold may be dense but not compared to other materials that earth is made up of.

  2. The way while we are made of the current would drive you up the current would be right to expect the materials you cannot effectively sink if other stuff between the earth have to expect the surface at the density of sufficiently fluid materials to expect the bottom gold is heading towards the earth the way while we are on its temperature hot.

  3. The intense pressures in the interior of the Earth cause the material to behave more solid than it really is. Things don’t just sink to the bottom. The further down you go, the harder it is to go down. Unless I’m mistaken.
