The part nearest to the earths core is the "Mantle" it contains partially molten rocks and also known as the "Mesosphere".Its made up mainly of "Olivine" ie silicates of iron and magnesium.It has a density of between 3.0-5.0 and its about 2900km thick.It has several layers,the uppermost mantle consist of the continental and oceanic crusts which forms the "Tectonic plates".Directly beneath this layer is a "weak zone" also known as the "Asthenosphere" on which the plates rides.The asthenosphere lies between 100-200km from earth surface its very hot,plastic and highly molten containing rocks and iron forming "Magmatic materials" that can be forced to erupt under high pressure to produce "Volcanic mountains" and other "Tectonic landforms".The lowwermost part of the mantle extends from 670km-2900km and is more solid than the asthenosphere.The mantle is the most active internal structure of the earth.
What else can I help you with?
What area of the earths mantle is the densest?
The area nearest to the Earth's Core.
What is the part that surrounds the inner core called?
The part surrounding the inner core is called the outer core. It is a layer of molten metal that surrounds the solid inner core of the Earth.
What is the part of earth between the crust and outer core?
Crust Mantle Core Inner Core
What causes heat in the inner core?
The heat comes in the part were the core was and it melts
What is the smallest part of the earth?
The smallest part of the Earth is its core, which is made up of a solid inner core and a liquid outer core. The inner core is about 1,500 miles (2,400 kilometers) in diameter, while the outer core is larger, extending to about 1,400 miles (2,200 kilometers) in thickness.
What is the part nearest the core?
The answer will depend on core of WHAT: the sun, the earth, an apple?

What part of the core is made up of solid metal?
The inner core is the solid part of the core
What is the part of the core that is liquid?
The Mantel is the part of the core that is liquid.
What area of the earths mantle is the densest?

What area of the earth mantle is the densest?
The area nearest to the Earth's Core.
What is the solid part of earth's core?
inner core
What is the thickeness of each part?
the thickness of each part is the mantle, the inner core, and inner core
Why is the core called the core?
The core is called the core because it is the central part or innermost part of something. In the context of the Earth, the core is the central part of the planet, located beneath the mantle and consisting mainly of iron and nickel.
What is the part that surrounds the inner core called?
The part surrounding the inner core is called the outer core. It is a layer of molten metal that surrounds the solid inner core of the Earth.
