What is a mantle and what does it do?
The mantle is the the layer of superheated, semi-solid rock betweenthe crust and the core. It makes up the majority of Earth's volume.It is able to flow over long periods of t…ime, allowing the tectonicplates to move. It is also the source of magma for Earth'svolcanoes. A mantle is also and old word for a cape or wrap Warning, Warning! Be careful not to confuse the words mantle and mantel , even though they are very often misused. The latterspelling (..."el") refers to the shelf across the top of afireplace or the beam that holds the mantel. It's the same as nickel and nickle : when correctlyused, the first spelling refers to the metal element and iscolloquial slang for US and Canadian 5¢ coins, while the second isan obscure name for a small European bird!

How deep is it to the mantle?
Earth's mantle is a rocky shell about 2,890 km (1,800 mi) thick that constitutes about 84 percent of Earth's volume. Two main zones are distinguished in the upper mantle: the …inner asthenosphere composed of flowing rock in the state of plasticity, about 200 km thick, and the lowermost part of the lithosphere, composed of rigid rock, about 50 to 120 km thick. A thin crust, the upper part of the lithosphere, surrounds the mantle and is about 5 to 75 km thick. The mantle is divided into sections which are based upon results from seismology. These layers (and their depths) are the following: the upper mantle (starting at the Moho, or base of the crust around 7 to 35 km, downward to 410 km), the transition zone (410-660 km), the lower mantle (660-2891 km), and in the bottom of the latter region there is the anomalous D" layer with a variable thickness (on average ~200 km thick) (MORE)

What is mantle?
The mantle is the layer of Earth between the core and crust. It is made up of ductile rock which exhibits plasticity, bends without fracture, and is extremely highly viscous.T…he mantle extends from a varied upper depth of 5-50 km to a lower margin of 2900 km from the surface. (MORE)
