Inner core: 2450 km thick
Outer core: 2300 km thick
Lower mantle: 2500 km thick
Upper Mantle: 400 km thick
continental crust: 30-70 km thick
Oceanic Crust: 6 km thick
Earths under crust surrounded by Upper Mantle (35-60 km) .The mantle is composed of sillicate rocks that are rich in iron and magnesium relative to the overlying crust.

Mantle plumes are in the mantle, BELOW the Earth's crust. The circulation of heat from the lower mantle to the upper mantle can cause "hot spots" in the overlying crust, heating the magma in the areas.
No. The crust contains a small fraction of earth's mass. Most of the mass is contained in the mantle.
