Answer:
Explanation:
Do you mean "made" as in the element itself, or "made" as it is extracted from the Earth and refined.

The elements originate in the stars. The fusion reactions in Earth's sun fuse hydrogen and helium atoms to make elements, up to iron. Larger stars and powerful explosions such as supernova create the larger elements. Humans, with the use of particle accelerators make even larger elements, nearly all of which are unstable and decay rapidly into smaller elements. But their creation does offer the perk of naming rights if you can prove it was created, and don't pick a clearly untenable name.
The Fe in stardust from the sun collects in clumps via gravitational forces and, via meteorites, is carried to Earth. This is the major source for pure iron on the Earth.
Iron has chemical properties that lead to it reacting with other substances (e.g., oxygen) and then becoming concentrated in deposits as a variety of salts in the Earth's crust, as a result of natural processes. These deposits are mined and the rock is heated to separate and purify the iron metal.
