The Earth's interior is made up of four layers, the crust, mantle, outer core and the inner core. In the mantle, temperatures range between 500 to 900 degrees Celsius at the upper boundary with the crust; to over 4,000 degrees Celsius at the boundary with the outer core.


Where is the upper mantle located?
