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.
