No, the main heat source for the mantle (as well as the core) is radioactive decay of elements like uranium within the mantle itself (or core, respectively). Heat rising from the core into the already hot mantle does set up the differential heat profile that drives much of the mantle convection, but even without the additional core heat the mantle would convect (but slower) so that its heat would rise to the crust.
Crust, mantle, outer core, inner core
Crust, mantle, and core
The 3 main layers of earth (crust, mantle, core) are divided into crust, upper mantle, lower mantle, outer core, and inner core.
There are five basic layers of the Earth, being the crust, upper mantle, inner mantle, outer core, and inner core. Of these, the lithosphere is composed of the crust and upper mantle, and the asthenosphere is part of the mantle, below the lithosphere.
The core, mantle and the crust. (There is an inner and outer core, and an inner and outer mantle.)
the earths Mantle is heated by the lava that is under neath the Mantle
There are several layers between the outer core and the crust mainly combined into one and called the Mantle.
The core, as it is mainly made up of iron and nickel.
There are differences in chemistry (the mantle is mainly ultramafic rock--the outer core is metallic), in phase (the mantle is predominately solid--the outer core is liquid), in depth (the outer core is closer to the center of the Earth), and in density (the outer core is more dense).
Yes. Magma is underground molten rock.
It is mainly solid and is located between the outer crust and core.
Convection currents in the mantle are streams of fluid produced by the process of heat transfer from one place to another. The earth gets very hot as you go nearer to the core. The mantle is thus heated up as it is right next to the core. As a result, convection currents are formed.*Core: It is a spherical zone that lies at the center of the earth.*Mantle: It is the layer surrounding the outer core of the earth.
The Crust Is The Coolest One I Think because it isn't made of of layers that are heated like the core or mantle ...
In the mantle,we have two layers of solid rock with heated flowing rock between them.
the layer in the earths suface that contains liquid rock is called: the inner core (mainly)\ outer core (some) and (parts) of the mantle.

Neutrons are! The core is heated by the neautrons and so the the cor heats the mantls and so thats what melts and heats the rest of earths core parts.
