What is the difference between between the lower and upper mantle?

The upper mantle is harder than the lower mantle


Does the mantle lie directly below the inner core?

No, the mantle does not lie directly below the inner core. The mantle is the layer of the Earth located between the outer core and the crust. It is composed of solid rock that can flow slowly over time due to high temperatures and pressures. The inner core is a solid sphere of iron and nickel at the center of the Earth.

Why is the mantle of the Earth often referred to as the cavern of crystals?

It isn't. At least not by Earth scientists! There is no reason based on the evidence to believe that there are significant void spaces (i.e. caverns) within the mantle (despite what you might see in films such as "The Core").


Is the boundary between the liquid core and mantle known as the Moho?

No. The Moho (more correctly the Mohorovičić discontinuity) is the name given to a seismic discontinuity between the Earth's crust and mantle. The seismic discontinuity between the Earth's mantle and liquid core is known as the Gutenberg discontinuity or the CMB - Core Mantle Boundary.


What the boundary between the core and mantle?

The boundary of mantle and core are called Gutenberg Discontinuity


What do you called the boundary between the mantle in the core?

The boundary between the mantle and core is called the core-mantle boundary. This region is marked by a significant change in density and composition, representing the transition from the solid mantle to the liquid outer core of the Earth.


What is the layer in Earth's mantle between the lithosphere and upper mantle?

What is the layer of hot solid material between earth's crust and outer core?

The layer of hot solid material between the Earth's crust and outer core is called the mantle. It is composed of silicate rocks and is divided into the upper mantle and lower mantle. Heat from the Earth's core causes convection currents in the mantle, which drive the movement of tectonic plates.
