What is hotter inner mantle or outer mantle?
the earths core is the hottest part of the earth. the metals in the earths outer core is liquid because of the heat and the metals in the earths core is solid but still the earths core is the hottest
What are the zone between core and crust?
The chemical layer of the Earth known as the mantle lies between the crust and the core.
How do scientists know that the inner core is solid?
Seismic waves traveling through the inner core go faster than those through the outer core.
Is the outer core denser than the mantle?
The mantle is hotter by a few degrees."The inner core and crust are solid; the outer core and mantle layers are plastic or semi-fluid. The various layers are separated by discontinuities which are evident in SEISMIC DATA; the best known of these is the Mohorovicic discontinuity between the crust and upper mantle." "The core is probably composed mostly of iron (or nickel/iron) though it is possible that some lighter elements may be present, too. Temperatures at the center of the core may be as high as 7500 K, hotter than the surface of the Sun. The lower mantle is probably mostly silicon, magnesium and oxygen with some iron, calcium and aluminum. The upper mantle is mostly olivene and pyroxene (iron/magnesium silicates), calcium and aluminum. We know most of this only from SEISMIC TECHNIQUES; samples from the upper mantle arrive at the surface as lava from VOLCANOES but the majority of the Earth is inaccessible. The crust is primarily quartz (silicon dioxide) and other silicates like feldspar."
What layer in earths mantle do plates slide over?
In my 7th grade science class, so far I know that the first layer is the Crust, the second is the Lithosphere, the third is the Asthenosphere, the fourth is The Upper Mentle Region, the fifth is The Lower Mantle Region, this next layer is not considered a layer but it is called the Metal Oxide Belt\Region, the sixth is the Outer Core, and the seventh is the Inner Core.
What are the three layers of the interior of the earth?
The Earth has 5 layers start from the deepest: Inner core, outer core, inner mantle, outer mantle, crust.
What is hotter inner mantle or outer mantle?
the earths core is the hottest part of the earth. the metals in the earths outer core is liquid because of the heat and the metals in the earths core is solid but still the earths core is the hottest
Identify the layers of the earth by their physical properities?
crust,mantle,inner core,and outer corethat's what i know
What are the zone between core and crust?
The chemical layer of the Earth known as the mantle lies between the crust and the core.
What layer does the earth's inner core spin in?
the way in which the earths core spins is believed to be the source of its
What does it feel like to go through outer core?
the outer core is above earths solid inner core and below its mantle this is the outer part but not the crust and it would feel pretty warm to go through this area. ok well i hope this helped this is all i know.!:)

What is hotter mantle or core?
The mantle is definately not hotter that the inner core. i know this because we are doing this at school and if the mantle is hotter we could not live on the crust!
Does the liquid in the inner core or outer core flow in currents?
The inner core is solid, but the mantle is the only layer of Earth that flows in currents. These currents are caused by convection. If you don't know what convection is then you might as well look it up because I don't have a good definition.
How do you know the earth is not hollow?
wow this is a stupid question it has the crust mantle core inner core NOT HOLLOW
How do you know earths outer core is liquid?
Volcanoes allow the molten lava from the outer core to pass through weak spots in the mantle.
How many layers of the earth is there?
if you are talking about layers of soil there is a bunch but if you want the generic thing that would be 4 crust, mantle, outer core, and inner core. if you want like the plate layers i dont know how to spell any of them.
