Geodes... Ever seen a geode, a dragon's egg.... they are formed naturally when certain conditions exist. You need very frothy magma, full of gasses. you need a source of quick initial cooling but maintaining some warmth for a period and you need a long time for the inside of the geode to form.
Traditional physics tells us that the Earth, the ball of dirt is some billions of years old and was formed, initially, from particles and chunks of an accretion disk formed from space stuff attracted and caught in the gravity well of a large mass.
Much of the matter that comes in would be very cold, very dense, and much that would be in a gaseous state at temperature is concentrated in solid form. This stuff comes together and through friction, generates a lot of heat, melting the majority of the space stuff and conglomerating it in a "droplet" in space... As soon as that friction is diminished, the heating diminishes and due to the environment that droplet, which was likely never totally molten right out to space. cools very quickly and traps a lot of gasses inside. The insides are still a hot frothy mess. There is still a large quantity of lighter elements and noble gasses trapped in that molten goo. Over time, the gasses coalesce into a bubble in the inside of the "shell" and the portions of the gasses that cool to wanting to be solid again begin to change state. Some of these generate a crystal lattice when allowed to cool or condense slowly.
We have pockets of magma because the shell that cooled quickly, the mantle and tectonic plates are not smooth on the underside. Also, as the cooling takes place, some elements may be solids or crystals while rock is still molten. If that occurred, there would be a second shell that would form on the inside surface of the bubble where the gasses condensed, against the molten rock held out by pressure and centrifugal force. It would not be smooth either, but I would think a lot smoother than the underside of the tectonic plates. There would be a tremendous amount of friction caused by the difference in rotational speed, if any, between the inner and outer shells, which seems likely by their differences in mass. Likely enough to keep a section of that interface molten, like a web filling in the crevices. We know that simply putting water in a violent situation, we increase it's temperature and can generate superheated steam. We can light a fire with a piece of iron and a hammer. Internal friction of dense matter is a very powerful heat source. So actual contact between the inner and outer shells is not necessary. It also may be that there is actual contact and some the earthquakes are from that. If these balls are spinning, as we know at least the outside one is, there would be two places where any sort of usable passage could exist. Also, being that the areas where those passages would exist would be some of the lowest speed differences and therefor likely lowest friction, and lower temperature, a passage is plausible.
When that passage formed, there would be a lot of trapped gasses in the inside bubble that would escape as soon as that passage is clear, changing the outside surface of the new planet from a hunk of rock in a vacuum to a hunk of rock with an atmosphere. I mean. all that gas we have had to come from somewhere.
Does this sound like planet in your neighborhood?
The earth is a geode...
