Earth had a youthful phase of being a molten ball of liquid magma.
That naturally leads to the heavier elements settling at the center, and the thin non magma crust we call home being made of the lighter non metal elements.
Which means all/most of the heavier metals on/near the surface today comes from volcanos or asteroids.
