Detailed explanation-1: -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 D” (dee double prime) layer is a mysterious layer beginning approximately 200 km above the boundary between the core and mantle. (This boundary is referred to as the core-mantle boundary.)
