• Temperatures of the crust vary air temperature is 1600 degrees Fahrenheit

EARTH'S MANTLE

• The mantle is a part of a terrestrial planet or other rocky body large enough to have differentiation by density.
• The mantle is a layer between the crust and the outer core.
• The mantle encloses the hot core rich in iron and nickel,

OUTER CORE

• The outer core is so hot that the metals in it are all in the liquid state.
• The outer core is located about 1800 milesbeneath the crust.
• The outer core is 1,400 miles thick.
