The crust is referred to as the outer skin of the planet, where all life as we know it exists. There are two types of crust--continental, which is granitic in composition, and oceanic, which is basaltic in composition. The depth of the crust varies from about 0-40 miles, and is composed mainly of silicate rich rock.
The mantle extends from the boundary with the crust, to a depth of around 1800 miles, making it Earth's most massive layer. The uppermost layer is a brittle solid and is attached to the crust. Directly underneath the crust and uppermost mantle lies the asthenosphere, where hot solid rock is in a plastic-like state, able to move long distances on geologic time scales. This plasticity decreases with depth as the lithostatic pressure increases toward the boundary with the core. Chemically, the mantle differs from the crust in that the rock is ultramafic (very high in iron and magnesium) compared to the more silica rich rock of the crust. Temperature also increases with depth (geothermal gradient), and therefore temperatures in the mantle are significantly higher than in the crust.
mantle is earth's layers there is 4 important layers crust, mantle, outer and inner core. Yet magma is volcano and more into that (:Karina:
There are several layers between the outer core and the crust mainly combined into one and called the Mantle.
crust and core
The mantle lies between the crust and the outer core of Earth's interior, and is not within the crust.
Oceanic crust is mostly basaltic, which is denser, while continental crust is made from mostly basaltic and sedimentary rocks, which are less dense. This difference in density is why the oceanic crust sinks lower (thus the oceans) and the continental crust rides higher (thus the continents) on the mantle.
Chemistry
15 kilo meters is the distance between the crust and the mantle
It is between the Crust and the upper mantle
The chemical layer of the Earth known as the mantle lies between the crust and the core.
The upper mantle is in between the lower mantle and the earths crust Crust- the outer most solid shell of the earth. The Uppermost mantle and the earth's crust form the lithosphere.

a mantle is something between the crust
Mohorovicic discontinuity is located between the upper mantle and the crust, while the Gutenberg discontinuityis located between the lower mantle and the outer core.
The boundary between the crust and the upper mantle is called the Mohorovičić discontinuity, commonly known as the Moho.
