What a Mantle?

What type of rock makes up the mantle and the crust?
The mantle is primarily composed of silicate minerals rich in magnesium and iron, such as olivine and pyroxene, which are classified as ultramafic rocks. The crust, on the other hand, consists mainly of lighter silicate minerals, including feldspar and quartz, forming granitic rocks in continental crust and basaltic rocks in oceanic crust. Together, these rocks contribute to the Earth's structure and behavior.
