What is the layer of the earth that contains mostly liquid rock?

There is no layer of Earth that is predominantly molten rock. The only layer of Earth that is liquid is the outer core, however this is mainly iron and nickel. The mantle, the thickest layer of the Earth, contains rock that is "ductile" (i.e. very viscous and able to flow very slowly), but not technically "liquid."

What layer of the earth is the hotest layer?

The core.... that is the innermost part of earth, this is becasue the pressure there is so high. The innermost core contains iron, but, dispiote the hot temperature, 5778K (5500°C), becasue of the high preasure, the iron stays solid!


What are the main zones of the Earth?

(Relatively) Thin outer layer, the Crust. Very thick inner layer, the Mantle. Mostly solid silicate rocks. Liquid inner layer, the Outer Core. Mostly liquid iron and nickel blend. Solid core, the Inner Core. Mostly solid iron-nickel alloy, and estimated to have a temperature of about 5700 Kelvins, or 5430 Celsius.
