The mantle is a hot crystalline material - not hot enough to be molten but hot enough to undergo ductile deformation. It behaves like a solid, but in longer times can behave as a viscous liquid.
The outer core of the mantle can be liquid.
The asthenosphere, located in the upper part of the mantle, can flow like a thick liquid due to high temperatures and pressures that allow for the movement of rock over long periods of time.
The Earth's mantle is mostly solid, but it can behave like a very viscous fluid over geological timescales. It consists of solid rock that can flow slowly over long periods of time, causing tectonic plate movements.
No, the Earth's inner core is solid due to high pressure despite its high temperatures. The outer core, which is liquid, is responsible for generating Earth's magnetic field through convection currents.
There is no layer of melted rock directly below the Earth's crust. The upper mantle is composed of solid, but flexible rock which is prevented from melting by the pressure of surrounding material.
If we're talking layers of the earth, that would be the upper mantle, below the crust.
The mantle
No. It behaves as a solid.
The mantle of Earth contains magma or so you can call it lava which is a liquid from 700-1200 degrees centigrade.
The outer core of the mantle can be liquid.
The mantle is mostly solid, but it can flow slowly over long periods of time, behaving like a very viscous liquid. This movement is what drives plate tectonics on Earth.
The continents "float" on the liquid mantle of the Earth because the metals that make up the mantle are very dense. The continents move when magma is pushed through the crust of the Earth in places like the Mid-Atlantic Ridge.

The upper part is thick and fudge like, and the lower part is more like liquid. It's all hot, molten rock.
The core is solid metal surrounded by liquid metal, the mantle is liquid rock.
The asthenosphere, located in the upper part of the mantle, can flow like a thick liquid due to high temperatures and pressures that allow for the movement of rock over long periods of time.
The crust and the upper part of the mantle are the solid part of the Earth called the lithosphere.
The Mantle Is The Part Of Earth That Has Properties Of A Solid And A Liquid.
