In the mantle
The second layer
niether. The mesosphere is a layer of the atmosphere of earth, so it would be a gas. It is the coldest layer of the atmosphere reaching temperatures of -90 C. by mjjm23: No, it is a layer of the earth!! that is wrong, but i don't know the answer! THE ANSWER IS SOLID!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! BECAUSE OF THE PRESSURE IN THAT AREA OF THE EARTH IN COMPARISON TO THE MATERIALS IN THE MESOSPHERE. THE MESOSPHERE IS SOLID. BUT YES THE MESOSPHERE IS ALSO THE NAME OF AN ATMOSPHERIC LAYER. BUT IN THE EARTH IT IS SOLID...
The mantle is the hot rock.
the crust is made up of solid rock and mantle is made up of molten rocks
There is no layer of Earth that is predominantly molten rock. The only layer of Earth that is liquid is the outer core, however this is mainly iron and nickel. The mantle, the thickest layer of the Earth, contains rock that is "ductile" (i.e. very viscous and able to flow very slowly), but not technically "liquid."
The solid layer of the earth that can still flow is called the asthenosphere. This layer is located in the mantle of the earth the layer below the upper crust and lithosphere, home of the tectonic plates.
The lithosphere
The lithosphere is the physical layer of hard brittle rock. The remainder of the mantle that is not contained in the lithosphere is the layer of ductile rock.
The second layer
The soft layer of rock in the Earth's mantle is called the asthenoshere. The asthenoshere is a solid but able to flow slowly.
The solid rock forms the Earth's crust on which we live.
The lithosphere is the physical layer of hard brittle rock. The remainder of the mantle that is not contained in the lithosphere is the layer of ductile rock.
