Moho
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.
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
crust, Lithosphere, Asthenosphere, lower mantle, outer core, inner core
After the lithosphere is the asthenosphere, then comes the lower mantle. After that is the outer core, and then is the inner core.
The 3 main layers of earth (crust, mantle, core) are divided into crust, upper mantle, lower mantle, outer core, and inner core.

The lower boundary of the Earth's crust is called the Mohorovičić discontinuity, or Moho for short. It is typically located between 5 and 10 kilometers beneath the ocean floor and around 20 to 70 kilometers beneath the continents.
The lowest spots in the Earth's crust are found in the Mariana's Trench. It is located in the floor of the western North Pacific Ocean
Oceanic crust is denser than continental crust, it floats lower in earths mantle.
There are almost no extrusive rocks on the earths surface because they are all under the earths surface. They are mainly lower than the earths surface.
lower core, upper core, mantle, and crust
Gneiss is a part of the earths lower crust. No matter where you drill you will eventually uncover gneiss.
The Earth's mantle extends from the base of the crust down to a depth of about 2,900 kilometers (1,800 miles) at the boundary with the outer core. This region is divided into the upper mantle and lower mantle based on differences in composition and behavior.
According to Scientists, the earthâ??s mantle temperature averages between 4,000 to 6,700 degrees Fahrenheit or 2,200 to 3,700 degrees Celsius.
Oceanic crust is denser than continental crust. Oceanic crust has a density of about 3 g/cm^3, while continental crust has a lower density of about 2.7 g/cm^3.
The section of Earth's crust that moves during an earthquake is called a fault plane. This is where the two tectonic plates that are in contact with each other slip past one another, causing the ground to shake.
The Earth's outermost layer of hard brittle rock is called the crust. The crust is typically about 23 miles thick beneath continents, and about 6.5 miles thick beneath oceans. The crust is relatively light and brittle compared to other Earth layers. Most earthquakes occur within the crust.
