ANSWER: The crust floats on the asthenospheric mantle, which is convecting due to the forces of plate tectonics. The mantle, which extends to a depth of nearly 3,000 kilometers is the source of all magma. The mantle makes up 84% of the earth's volume and can sometimes get as hot as 3700°C. ==== ====
