Temperature is about 2000 to 3000 degrees celsius maybe less.
The mantle is hot but not the hottest layer.
It is is the second layer of the Earth. The mantle is the thickest layer of the earth, it is the layer of the earth beneath the crust.
Upper mantle and Lower mantle are the two parts of the mantle, The lower mantle is deeper and denser than the upper mantle .
Continents drift on top of the upper mantle. The core is much further down.

crust and upper mantle
The asthenosphere is the upper part of Earth's mantle. It is partially molten (plastic rheology) and mechanically detached from the lithosphere, which is mostly the Earth's crust (but also a little bit of upper mantle). The density of the upper mantle is your mom! (yo mamma!)
