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 Mohorovičić discontinuity (/moʊhəˈroʊvɪtʃɪtʃ/ MOH-hə-ROH-vitch-itch, Croatian: [moxorôʋiːtʃitɕ]), usually referred to as the Moho discontinuity or the Moho, is the boundary between the Earth’s crust and the mantle.
Detailed explanation-3: -Earth’s layer’s names are: Crust: the outer layer of rock on which humans and animals live and plants grow. Mantle: a semi-solid magma layer consisting of iron, magnesium, and silicon. Core: centrally located solid mass of metal (inner core) and a liquid mass of iron and nickel (outer core).
