GEOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -The mantle is the mostly solid bulk of Earth’s interior. The mantle lies between Earth’s dense, superheated 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 asthenosphere is the part of the mantle that flows and moves the plates of the Earth. The mantle is the layer located directly under the sima. It is the largest layer of the Earth, 1800 miles thick.

Detailed explanation-3: -Earth’s mantle is a layer of silicate rock between the crust and the outer core. It has a mass of 4.01 × 1024 kg and thus makes up 67% of the mass of Earth. It has a thickness of 2, 900 kilometers (1, 800 mi) making up about 84% of Earth’s volume.

Detailed explanation-4: -Earth consists of three main layers: the crust, the mantle, and the core (Figure 3.4). The core accounts for almost half of Earth’s radius, but it amounts to only 16.1% of Earth’s volume. Most of Earth’s volume (82.5%) is its mantle, and only a small fraction (1.4%) is its crust.

Detailed explanation-5: -* The mantle is the largest layer of the Earth. It is 2900km thick. *It includes the lithosphere and athenosphere.
