What is the depth of the mantle?
Earth's mantle is a rocky shell about 2,890 km (1,800 mi) thick that constitutes about 84 percent of Earth's volume. Two main zones are distinguished in the upper mantle: the inner asthenosphere composed of flowing rock in the state of plasticity, about 200 km thick, and the lowermost part of the lithosphere, composed of rigid rock, about 50 to 120 km thick. A thin crust, the upper part of the lithosphere, surrounds the mantle and is about 5 to 75 km thick. The mantle is divided into sections which are based upon results from seismology. These layers (and their depths) are the following: the upper mantle (starting at the Moho, or base of the crust around 7 to 35 km, downward to 410 km), the transition zone (410-660 km), the lower mantle (660-2891 km), and in the bottom of the latter region there is the anomalous D" layer with a variable thickness (on average ~200 km thick)

the outer core is 2300 km thick the inner core on the other hand is 1200 km thick.
Which part of earth's structure is about 100 km thick?
The Lithosphere
How thick is the earths mantle?
The thickness of the Earth's mantle is about 2900 km and it's upper boundary is about 100km deep. There is a really cool cutaway drawing available by using the Wikipedia link.
Which layer has the greatest mass in the Earth?
its the mantle, taking up 82% of the Earth's volume with a 2900 km-thick shell.
What is the actual size of earth's outer core?
The outer core lies at a depth from 2900 km to 5150 km.
What is the thickness of the lower mantle?
2900 km
Is 3 km longer than 2900 m?
Yes, 3 km is longer than 2900 m.2900 m = 2.9 km
What part of the Earth's interior can flex and move out of the way?
The Earth's mantle is the thickest part of the interior, about 2900 km thick, and has a temperature of about 1000 degrees C. This makes it elastic : it can be pushed down by the weight of the crust, and return to its original position when the load decreases. This has occurred when large ice caps (such as Greenland and Antarctica) add to the weight of the crust.
