Heavy metals

How actually these are formed...?

It is assumed that universe has only Hydrogen initially. Because of high pressure and heat, these hydrogen atoms combine to form higher atomic elements. The temperature and pressure at the core of SUN is capable of producing Helium from Hydrogen atoms.

But on Earth we have very high atomic number elements like Titanium, Uranium etc. How come??

These are generated because of the intense pressure and temperature caused by BIG BANG.
