Evolution of metal-silicate equilibration pressures during Earth’s accretion calculated for the three N-body accretion simulations. In each case, results are shown for slow cooling/crystallising magma oceans due to the presence of an insulating atmosphere (red symbols) and fast cooling/crystallising magma oceans due to an absence of an insulating atmosphere (black symbols). Equilibration pressures determined by Rubie et al. (2015b) (P _equil ≈0.7 × P _CMB for all impacts, irrespective of size) are shown for comparison
