The core is solid metal surrounded by liquid metal,

the mantle is liquid rock.

they both have convection currents


How do you identify the core crust and the mantle?

The core is identified by its high density and composition of primarily iron and nickel. The crust is the outermost layer of the Earth, composed mostly of lighter elements like oxygen and silica. The mantle lies between the core and crust, characterized by its solid yet ductile nature.


How far is core from mantle?

3160 miles-mantle to inner core.


Is the mantle heated mainly by the heat conducted from the core?

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.

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.


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 the relationship between the density of earths layer the position of each layer?

Each relationship between each layer is different. Like the mantle and the outer core. Its like the mantle is solid and it starts to soften and turn to liquid the deeper you go. Or like the outer core and the inner core . The outer core starts to get harder and denser and the deeper you go the solider it gets. Like the mantle and the crust too. The mantle gets a little more solid and becomes the crust.


Is the mantle or the crust nearest to the core?

The Earth is made up of three layers. The center is the core, surrounded by the mantle, which is surrounded by the crust. So the mantle is closest to the core.
