it has 7,201 km of pressure for each
Between the core and the crust is the mantle. The upper mantle contains the hard lithosphere and the weak asthenosphere. The lower mantle is marked by an increase in temperature and pressure. As a result, the rocks in the lower mantle flow much slower.The mantle...the mantleThis layer is called the mantle.The part of the Earth that is located between the core and the crust is called the mantle.The four general layers are:1. Crust (outer and surface layer)2. Mantle (thickest individual layer)3) Outer Core (liquid)4) Inner Core (solid)The mantle is sometimes divided into the mantle (proper) and the upper mantle, which exhibits some different characteristics from the layer as a whole.
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.
The outer core is composed of molten iron and nickel, which is much denser than the material that composes the mantle. So, in a sense, the mantle floats on top of the core just as the crust floats on top of the mantle.
There are 4 layers in the earth these are crust, mantle, inner core and outer core. The crust is made of the ocean crust and the continents. The mantle is made of plastic it is very hot liquid. The outer core is very hot liquid. And the inner core is hot solid made mainly of iron. :) :P <3 .....
Generally speaking, the crust of the earth is a solid. Yes, there are oceans on the earth. Heck, they cover much of the surface. But the crust extends down well below the bottom of the ocean. Earth's crust is up to 70 kilometers deep, which is over 40 miles. The deepest the ocean gets is roughly 7 miles. A link is provided to the Wikipedia article on the earth's structure.
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.

Sedimentary rock covers much of the Earth's crust.
Inner core: 2450 km thick Outer core: 2300 km thick Lower mantle: 2500 km thick Upper Mantle: 400 km thick continental crust: 30-70 km thick Oceanic Crust: 6 km thick
The outer core is composed of molten iron and nickel, which is much denser than the material that composes the mantle. So, in a sense, the mantle floats on top of the core just as the crust floats on top of the mantle.
The mantle. Earth's layers are core, outer core, mantle, lithosphere, and crust.
There is the Crust, Mantle, Outer core, and Inner core. There isn't really much to them. They are just the layers of the Earth

The crust is much colder than the mantle.
the outer core is not under enough pressure to be solid, but the inner core has so much weight being pressed against is from the mantle, crust, outer core, and gravity that it stays as solid nickel and can not move
