The crust is a thin outer layer. The mantle is much thicker.

Exploration of the mantle is generally conducted at the seabed rather than on land because of the relative thinness of the oceanic crust as compared to the significantly thicker continental crust.
The crust rides or floats on the mantle. :)
: Why do astronomers conclude that the crust on Mars must be thicker then Earth's crust?
The mantle is hotter than the crust.

It's 29 times thicker

the mantle is a hot ocean of lava basically and on it floats a series of tectonic plates, on the surface of the plates is the crust. there is your answer hope it helps.
Convection currents in the mantle and core make tectonic plates move. The continental crust of the Earth is thicker and lighter than the oceanic crust.
The mantle is closer to the molten core of earth, so it is constantly heated by it. The crust is exposed to the atmosphere, which has some cooling effect, and the crust is, of course farthest from the core.
The crust is above the mantle and the mantle is below the crust
