Is earths mantle hotter or cooler than the crust?
The mantle is hotter than the crust.
How much larger is the mantle then the crust?
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%.
That humans will ever be able to travel deeper then the crust of earth why or whynot?
I do not think humans can travel deeper than the crust because, the crust and the mantle is too thick. The crust is 600km and the mantle is 12,900km.
What does the crust float on?
The crust rides or floats on the mantle. :)
The mantle has less aluminum and less what than the crust does?
silicon
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.
Is the mantle thicker or thinner than the crust?

What is the coldest crust or the mantle?

The mantle is denser than the crust because it contains more what?
The mantle contains more iron, making it denser.the mantle contains more magnesium and less aluminum than the crust .this make sthe mantle denser than the crust.
Why does Earth's crust sit on top of the mantle?
The crust lies on top of the mantle because it is composed of less dense materials than the mantle is. The crust is essentially floating on the mantle.

Why does the oceanic crust sit lower in the mantle than the continental crust?
Oceanic crust is more dense than continental crust.
Is the crust thicker or thinner than the mantle?
The crust is much thinner than the mantle.
The crust floats on the mantle because?
the crust(~2.7g/cm3) is less dense than the mantle(~3.3 g/cm3)
What the crust and mantle don't have in common?
The crust is above the mantle and the mantle is below the crust
