Fig. 6. Comparison between our modeled volatile contents and the observed values in the bulk silicate Earth (BSE).

Fig. 6

The observed C, N, and H contents in Earth’s present-day BSE were taken from ref. 51, and the S content in BSE were calculated based on refs. 58,59. Note that our modeled H–C–N–S contents are in good agreement with the observed values in the BSE, indicating that the Earth acquired its major volatile inventory through its heterogeneous accretion. Source data are provided in Supplementary Data 5.
