Detailed explanation-1: -The mantle is the mostly solid bulk of Earth’s interior. The mantle lies between Earth’s dense, super-heated core and its thin outer layer, the crust. The mantle is about 2, 900 kilometers (1, 802 miles) thick, and makes up a whopping 84 percent of Earth’s total volume.

Detailed explanation-2: -The Mantle is the largest layer of the Earth. The middle mantle is composed of very hot dense rock that flows like asphalt under a heavy weight and is 1800 miles thick. The movement of the middle mantle (asthenosphere) is the reason that the crustal plates of the Earth move.

Detailed explanation-3: -The mantle makes up about 84% of the Earth’s total volume. Starting about 20 miles below the Earth’s surface, the mantle extends approximately 1800 miles towards the Earth’s core, making it the largest layer of Earth.

Detailed explanation-4: -Mantle-2, 900 km thick. Outer Core-2, 200 km thick. Inner Core-1, 230 to 1, 530 km thick.

Detailed explanation-5: -The largest region of Earth’s interior is the mantle, a layer of semi-molten rock that extends 2, 891 km (1, 796 mi) from the underside of the crust to the liquid outer core. The mantle makes up around 84% of the total volume of the planet.
