The core is the middle and the mantle is the 3rd layer

What are the differences of crust and mantle?
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.
What is the difference between the mantle and outer core of the Earth?
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).
What are some similarities and differences between the mantle and the core?
the mantle is the part under the crust made up of nickel and iron moving about causing volcanoes whereas the core is solid because it is so tightly packed the minerals and metals have very constricted movement. the mantle is also the largest part of the Earth. the core has 2 sections the inner core and outer core
Give two differences between the mantle and the core?
The mantle is a layer of the Earth that lies between the core and the crust, while the core is the innermost layer made up of the outer liquid core and the solid inner core. Another difference is that the mantle is mainly composed of solid rock materials, while the core is primarily made up of metallic elements such as iron and nickel.
How are the mantle and core alike?
the core is corey and the mantle is mantely
What are the principal divisions of the solid earth based on compositional differences?
The principal divisions of the solid Earth based on compositional differences are the crust, mantle, and core. The crust is the outermost layer and is composed mainly of lighter elements like silicon and oxygen. The mantle lies beneath the crust and consists of denser silicate minerals. The Earth's core is located at the center and is primarily made up of iron and nickel.
How far is core from mantle?
3160 miles-mantle to inner core.
What are the layers of the earth from thinnest to thickest?
From thick to thin: mantle, outer core, inner core, crust.
Which is thicker the mantle or the two core layers cobmine?
The two core layers (outer and inner core) are denser and thicker than the mantle. The mantle is the layer between the core and the crust of the Earth, and it is thicker than the core layers.
Does the convection currents in the mantle are mainly caused by heat coming from the core?
Yes, convection currents in the mantle are mainly driven by heat coming from the Earth's core. Heat from the core creates temperature differences in the mantle, causing warmer, less dense materials to rise and cooler, denser materials to sink, thus setting up convection currents.
What is the thick rocky layer around earths core?
The core of the earth is surrounded by the mantle.The earth's core is called the inner core. Just outside that is the outer core, and it is liquid. Outside the liquid outer core is the mantle.
Which system includes core mantle and crust?
The Earth's structure includes the core (inner and outer), mantle, and crust. The core is further divided into the inner core and outer core, while the mantle is divided into the upper mantle and lower mantle. The crust is the outermost solid layer of the Earth.
