What part of the earth is about 1802 miles thick?
The Earth's crust is generally about 1802 miles thick. It consists of both continental crust (thicker, around 22 miles) and oceanic crust (thinner, around 5 miles). Below the crust, the mantle extends for about 1800 miles before reaching the Earth's outer core.
Is the crust of earth the only solid layer?
No. The mantle and inner core are also solid.
How thick is each layer of the Earth?
The crust is 19 miles/33km thickThe upper mantle is 415 miles/667km thickThe lower mantle is 1365 miles/2200km thickThe outer core is 1405 miles/2265km thickThe inner core is 760 miles/1220km thick (diameter of 2440 km)
Is Earths mantle is thinner than earths crust?
The crust is much thinner than the mantle.
What are the layers of the earth and their description?
the crust is the skin. it is the rigid outer layer. it is thickest under mountains and thinnest under oceans.the mantle has: lithosphere, mantle, athenosphere. the lithosphere is the top layer of the mantle i think it is solid, the mantle moves sluggishly, the athenosphere comes from the word Greek word athenos meaning weak;bendable.the core is made of two parts: the outer core and the inner core. the outer core is made up of mostly liquid nickel. the inner core is made of solid iron and nickel. this is the only solid layer in the earth.
How many miles thicker are the outer core and the inner core together than the mantle?
The radial thickness of the inner and outer core is equal to 3,486 km (2,166 miles). The mantle is 2,885 km (1,793 miles) thick. As such the inner and outer core combined is 601 km (373 miles) thicker than the mantle.
How far is core from mantle?
3160 miles-mantle to inner core.
How thick is the inner core plus the outer core?
The distance from the boundary between the mantle and the outer core, to the center of the Earth, is around 3,470 km, or 2,156 miles.
The thickest layer of the earth?
The thickest layer of the Earth is its mantle.
Which of the four main layers is thinnest?
The thinnest of the four main layers of Earth is the crust. It varies in thickness, averaging about 30 kilometers (19 miles) under continents and around 5-10 kilometers (3-6 miles) under the oceans. In comparison, the mantle, outer core, and inner core are much thicker layers.

No. The mantle and inner core are also solid.
What layer in earth is 3500 km thick?
The Core of Mars http:/en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mars#Geology
What is the tempuerature of the mantel?
The inner mantle averages 5400 degrees F and is anywhere from 200 to 2000 miles deep. The outer mantle averages 2500 to 5400 degrees f and is anywhere from 10 to 200 miles deep. (Both depths measured from sea level)

How long get to the center of the world if you were to dig?
You would die before you got very far. The earth's crust is 124 miles thick. After that you come upon the mantle (which is about 100-250 miles thick), which consists of molten rock (more commonly known as magma) and is split into three layers: Upper mantle, Mantle, Inner Mantle, each ranging between 600-900 degrees Celsius (or 1,112-1,652 degrees Fahrenheit). Once through the Mantle, you come upon the Inner core which is 1,400 miles thick and made up of Iron and Nickel and has a temperature of 6,692 degrees Fahrenheit. Then you have the inner core which is 750 miles thick and made of solid iron and nickel and has a temperature of about 13,000 degrees Fahrenheit (THAT"S HOTTER THAN THE SUN!) So as you can see, you would be dead before you reach the center of the earth.
How thick is each layer of the Earth?
The crust is 19 miles/33km thickThe upper mantle is 415 miles/667km thickThe lower mantle is 1365 miles/2200km thickThe outer core is 1405 miles/2265km thickThe inner core is 760 miles/1220km thick (diameter of 2440 km)
