What is the difference between the mantle and outer core of the Earth?

There are differences in chemistry (the mantle is mainly ultramafic rock--the outer core is metallic), in phase (the mantle is predominately solid--the outer core is liquid), in depth (the outer core is closer to the center of the Earth), and in density (the outer core is more dense).


What do you called the boundary between the mantle in the core?

The boundary between the mantle and core is called the core-mantle boundary. This region is marked by a significant change in density and composition, representing the transition from the solid mantle to the liquid outer core of the Earth.


What is the boundary between mantle and core?

The boundary between the mantle and the core is called the core-mantle boundary and also The Gutenberg Discontinuity which marks the upper boundary of the D'' (D Double Prime) layer.


Is the boundary between the liquid core and mantle known as the Moho?

No. The Moho (more correctly the Mohorovičić discontinuity) is the name given to a seismic discontinuity between the Earth's crust and mantle. The seismic discontinuity between the Earth's mantle and liquid core is known as the Gutenberg discontinuity or the CMB - Core Mantle Boundary.


What are the zone between core and crust?

The zone between the core and crust of the Earth is the mantle. It is a layer of solid rock that extends about 1,800 miles (2,900 kilometers) below the Earth's surface. The mantle is made up of silicate minerals and is responsible for convection currents that drive plate tectonics.

What are some similarities and differences between the mantle and the core?

the mantle is the part under the crust made up of nickel and iron moving about causing volcanoes whereas the core is solid because it is so tightly packed the minerals and metals have very constricted movement. the mantle is also the largest part of the Earth. the core has 2 sections the inner core and outer core


What is middle layer of earth called?

Between the thin rocky crust and inner core, in order from upper to lower, are the upper mantle, mantle, and outer core.


Which is thicker the mantle or the two core layers cobmine?

The two core layers (outer and inner core) are denser and thicker than the mantle. The mantle is the layer between the core and the crust of the Earth, and it is thicker than the core layers.


Name the layer between the inner core and the mantle?

The outer core.


What is between the crust and the core of the earth?

The mantle.


What layer is between the crust and the core?

The mantle.

What are the differences of crust and mantle?

The Earth is made up thus: Inner core, outer core, mantle, crust. We live on the crust, with semi-plastic molten rock forming much of the mantle beneath us.
