WHY does the mantle of the earth move like soft plastic?
No. It is a layer of rock. The very uppermost layer of the mantle is attached to the crust. The layer directly below it is very plastic-like, yet still considered rock. With increasing depth, the rock of the mantle becomes more and more rigid from increasing lithostatic pressure. The next layer after the mantle is the outer core, which is composed of iron and nickel in a liquid state. Finally, the inner core, solid, an alloy of iron and nickel.
