The earth's mantle is composed in part of minerals that contain iron:
The Earth's mantle is composed of rocks that have higher concentrations of mafic minerals (containing iron and magnesium) and lower in concentrations of the felsic minerals (aluminum and silica) than the rocks of Earth's crust.
The concentrations of the above elements therefore mean that the Earth's mantle is composed of a series of minerals that are predominately calcium / iron / magnesium aluminum silicates.
Such as:
However the layers of the earth that are predominantly iron (approx 85 %) are the inner and outer core.
No, the Earth's mantle is mostly made up of silicate minerals rather than iron. Iron is more abundant in the Earth's core.
Iron is not a primary component of the Earth's mantle. The main components of the mantle are silicon, oxygen, magnesium, and iron, with the dominant minerals being silicates.
The outer core of the Earth contains molten iron and nickel. This layer is located beneath the Earth's mantle and is responsible for generating the planet's magnetic field.
Oxygen is not found in large quantities in the Earth's mantle as it is more abundant in the Earth's crust and atmosphere compared to the mantle. The most abundant elements in the Earth's mantle are oxygen, silicon, magnesium, and iron.
The layer of Earth that contains iron-rich silicate rock is the mantle. The upper mantle is composed of silicate minerals rich in iron and magnesium, such as olivine and pyroxene. This layer lies beneath the Earth's crust and extends to a depth of about 2,900 kilometers.

iron in the core,the mantle is a mix of magnesium, silicon, iron, and oxygen.
Oxygen is not found in large quantities in the Earth's mantle as it is more abundant in the Earth's crust and atmosphere compared to the mantle. The most abundant elements in the Earth's mantle are oxygen, silicon, magnesium, and iron.

No. Liquid iron is found in the outer core. There are distinct layers in the earth.
The three main layers of the earth are the Core, Mantle and Crust. The Core is mostly made from iron and nickel, the Crust from oxygen, silicon and aluminum and the mantle silicon,oxygen,iron and magnesium.
The most abundant element in Earth's mantle is oxygen, which combines with other elements such as silicon, magnesium, and iron to form the majority of minerals found in the mantle. Oxygen makes up about 44% of the mantle by weight.
