The mantle is substantially larger than the Earth's crust. The crust varies in thickness, anywhere from 5-70 km, while the mantle measures at about 2900 km. Also, while the crust accounts for less than one percent of the Earth's over all volume, the mantle makes up a hefty 84%.

Actually according to my degree at the university of reddit, the crust is 3017-6892 Km in thickness depending on the area in which the measurements were taken, please take all answers on this site with a grain of salt.

Which is thicker mantle or crust?
The crust is a thin outer layer. The mantle is much thicker.
What does the crust float on?
The crust rides or floats on the mantle. :)
Is earths mantle hotter or cooler than the crust?
The mantle is hotter than the crust.
What is the thin solid outermost layer above the mantle?
The thin solid outermost layer above the mantle is the crust, and the crust is the layer we live on.
What are the layers of the earth from thinnest to thickest?
From thick to thin: mantle, outer core, inner core, crust.
What is the coldest crust or the mantle?
The crust is much colder than the mantle.
Is the mantle thicker or thinner than the crust?
The crust is much thinner than the mantle.
Which is thicker mantle or crust?
The crust is a thin outer layer. The mantle is much thicker.
Is the crust thinner or thicker than the mantle?
The crust is much thinner than the mantle.
Why is mantle hotter and denser than the crust?
The mantle is closer to the molten core of earth, so it is constantly heated by it. The crust is exposed to the atmosphere, which has some cooling effect, and the crust is, of course farthest from the core.
What the crust and mantle don't have in common?
The crust is above the mantle and the mantle is below the crust
What are the differences of crust and mantle?
The Earth is made up thus: Inner core, outer core, mantle, crust. We live on the crust, with semi-plastic molten rock forming much of the mantle beneath us.
Does the mantle separate the crust and mantle?
No the Mantle seperates the crust and the outer core
What layers of earth makes up the lithosphere?
Crust and the upper mantle
What does the crust float on?
The crust rides or floats on the mantle. :)
Is the crust thicker or thinner than the mantle?
The crust is much thinner than the mantle.
The section of earth beneath the crust?
Mantle Is The Below Layer Of The Crust In Earth.
