Processed meteorites with high metal content probably are: a) chunks of the core of a larger asteroid that was shattered by a collision. b) leftover chunks of rock from the earliest period in the formation of the solar system. c) chunks of rock chipped off the planet mars. d) chunks of rock chipped off the planet mercury. e) pieces of comets rather than of asteroids.

a) chunks of the core of a larger asteroid that was shattered by a collision.

Explanation:

The processes meteorites are the large celestial objects that are formed by the collision of large planatery bodies or asteriods. These consists of crust, mantle and core similar to that of the terrestrial planets. These can be define as the fragments of asteroids who have melted interiors in which the heavier metals sank inside the center and the lighter rocks raise to the outer surface. This process of formation of processed meteorites is called as differentiation.

the climate of each region is different from one another.
