The earth's mantle is the large area between the crust (which is where we live) and the core (the hot molten center.) The mantle is not completely solid or liquid, but kind of a combination of both. It's liquid enough that huge, slow-moving convection currents circulate through, which is what drives the process that moves the continents (which are part of the crust) across our planet. But it's solid enough that it's not quite completely molten.
