What is the name of that show with the scientists that find lizards in the earths mantle and a boy on the surface finds one and tries to raise it with his friend in his dogs doghouse?
surface
The section of earth beneath the crust?
Mantle Is The Below Layer Of The Crust In Earth.
What layer drives the movement of plates?
Convection currents in the mantle drive plate movements.
Is the stiffer mantle above or below the melting point?
is the temperature if the stiffer mantle above or below its melting point
Which layer is believed to behave most like a liquid?
If we're talking layers of the earth, that would be the upper mantle, below the crust.
How did scientists determine that the Earth's mantle existed?
Scientists used detectors which determined the mantle existed. As well, scientists must hypothesize and theorize what cannot be readily seen, and make determinations based on the evidence that does exist.
Why do scientists look to the ocean to research the mantle?
Why do scientists look to the ocean floor to research the mantle? Because magma from the mantle flows out of active volcanoes on the ocean floor. These underwater volcanoes have given scientists many clues about the composition of the mantle.

How can scientists lean about the mantle if they cannot study it directly?
scientists must use observations of earths surface to draw conclusions about the mantle.
What layer of the earth does most magma originate?
mantle
What do scientists believe explains the increased density of material deeper into the mantle?
why do scientists believe explains the increased density of material deeper into the mantle
How many kilometre outer mantle to inner mantle?
Scientists predict the mantle is about 2,900 km (1,800 mi) thick.

How can scientists infer the consistency of the earths mantle?
They can do this by how and how quickly seismic waves can move through the mantle.
What are ways the scientists can learn about the earths mantle?
seismometers
What do scientists that convection currents flow through?
its the mantle
Have scientists drilled into the earths Lower Mantle?
No. This has not occurred, yet.
