At the bottom of a graphic organizer that show relationship among heat, movement, and density in mantle rock. Also when it sinks the mantle rock starts to be heated up once again.
The lowermost part of the Earth's mantle, known as the D" layer, is believed to be the densest due to the high pressure and temperature conditions at that depth. This region lies just above the outer core and is composed of dense rock minerals that have been subjected to extreme heat and pressure.
If anything is rock-solid, it will result in a flat landscape. This will mean that there will be no plateaus, deep sea trenches, volcanoes or mountains if the mantle were solid rock.
The densest layer of the earth is the inner core.
the mantle is made up of solid hot rock.
Continental rock is less dense than mantle rock.

The Mantle.
The area nearest to the Earth's Core.

No, plate tectonics would not work with a solid rock mantle. The movement of tectonic plates is driven by the flow of semi-fluid rock in the mantle. If the mantle were solid, there would be insufficient convection currents to drive plate movement.
The earth's crust is less denser than the mantle.
Your answer would be melted rock, iron, and nickel

It is neither. The densest layer is the inner core. The least dense layer is the crust.
The thickest layer of the Earth is the mantle, with or without the asthenosphere (the upper layer of mantle). However, the densest layer of Earth is the inner core.
