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.
What is earths mantle heated by?
the earths Mantle is heated by the lava that is under neath the Mantle
Is the layer of the rock under the surface called earths crust?
Yes it is call a crust 😁
What is a soft layer of molten rock under the earths surface?
If there were such a thing it would not be soft, it would be liquid, and would be called magma. There really is no completely molten layer of Earth except for the outer core which is composed primarily of liquid iron along with some nickel and other trace elements.
What are the characteristics of earths crust mantle core?
The Mantle--The layer directly below the crust which is delineated from the crust by the Mohorovicic Discontinuity, where seismic waves increase in velocity. The division between the mantle and the crust is a chemical one, the rocks and constituent minerals being higher in magnesium and lower in silicon and aluminum than crustal rocks. The mantle comprises 84% of Earth's volume.
What can be found directly under the plates of the earths crust?
The Earth's tectonic plates lay on top of the outer layer of the mantle. This layer is known as the asthenosphere.

What is under the earths surface and in the earths crust?
mantle
What are 2 outer layers of earth called?
The first layer, or the outermost layer, is called the crust, whilst the second layer directly under the crust is called the mantle.
What is the layer of liquid iron and nickel called that lies under the mantle?
Outer core.
Is the earths center called the mantle?
No, the mantle is what is under the tectonic plates. Its Mg, Fe, Al, and Oxygen. The next layer is the core, which is molten Iron (Fe) with Sulfer (S). The inner core is solid because of the immense pressure, and is made up of Fe.
What is the layer under the crust?
The Mantle
Where is earths Mantle located?
The mantle is located right under Earth's crust.
Which earth layer is found under the crust?
35 - 60 Kms would be the uppermost mantle, which along with the crust forms the hard, brittle lithosphere. The Mantle is a semi-molten layer.
What is earths mantle heated by?
the earths Mantle is heated by the lava that is under neath the Mantle
What is the thick layer under the crust?
the mantle!
Is the layer of the rock under the surface called earths crust?
