Earths Mantle
The Mantles temperature is approximately 3,700 Celsius. Similar to other planets the Earth is made up of many layers. The Mantle is one of those layers. The Mantle is the layer between the Crust and the Outer Core, also the Mantle is a rocky shell about 2,890km thick and takes up about 84% of Earths volume. It is made of silicate minerals. The Mantle covers the iron-rich hot Core. Past episodes of melting and volcanism at the shallower levels of the Mantle have produced a thin crust of crystallized melt products, near the surface on which we are standing. The Mantle is made of...
