I heard this from another page on the internet.
If you dig 5 miles down starting from the deepest part of the Pacific Ocean, you will hit the mantle.

What is the largest zone of interior of the Earth by volume?
By far, the mantle.
How far is the mantle away from the crust of the earth?
A distance of about 1,800 miles [2,896.8 kilometers] separates the earth's mantle from the earth's crust.
How far below the earth's surface is the asthenosphere?
The asthenosphere begins at around 100-150 km depth in the Earth. This is below the lithosphere, which consists of the crust and the uppermost mantle (the plates in plate tectonics).The asthenosphere is in the mantle, but it is still unclear how much of the mantle (which goes down to a depth of ~2900 km) is actually part of the asthenosphere.
Is the upper mantle part of the lithosphere or asthenosphere?
The The crust and the uppermost layer of the mantle form the lithosphere. The asthenosphere, which is still in the upper mantle, is the next layer down.
What keeps the mantle from cooling down and becoming solid?
convection currents bringing heat to every part of the mantle
How far down in the earth can be dug?
So far the farthest down someones gone is 12 km.
How far down is the earths upper mantle?
It is just beneath the lithosphere, so about 200 feet.
Does the grand canyon reach to the mantle?
Not even close. It goes down less than two kilometers into the continental crust, over thirty kilometers away from the upper reaches of the mantle. The bottom of the ocean is far closer to the mantle.
How far is core from mantle?
3160 miles-mantle to inner core.
What is the largest zone of interior of the Earth by volume?
By far, the mantle.
How far is the mantle away from the crust of the earth?
A distance of about 1,800 miles [2,896.8 kilometers] separates the earth's mantle from the earth's crust.
What would happen if Earth's convection currents in Earth's mantle slowed down.?
If the convection currents in the earth's mantle slowed down then the mantle would slow down. Eventually, the mantle would stop all movement.
Is the mantle is the thickest layer of Earth?
The mantle, by far, is the thickest layer of the Earth.
Is the mantle the thickest layer of Earth?
Yes it is. By far.
How far down does earths mantle go?
The crust goes down about 10 kilometers. Continental crust is about 3 billion years old and oceanic crust is about 70-100 million years old.
Where is the lower mantle in the inside earth?
Well there is the crust, upper mantle, lower mantle, outer core, and the inner core. So, the lower mantle is the 3rd one down.
How far below the earth's surface is the asthenosphere?
The asthenosphere begins at around 100-150 km depth in the Earth. This is below the lithosphere, which consists of the crust and the uppermost mantle (the plates in plate tectonics).The asthenosphere is in the mantle, but it is still unclear how much of the mantle (which goes down to a depth of ~2900 km) is actually part of the asthenosphere.
