The interior of Earth, similar to the other terrestrial planets, is chemically divided into layers. The mantle is a layer between the crust and the outer core. Earth's mantle is a silicate rocky shell with an average thickness of 2,886 kilometres (1,793 mi). The mantle makes up about 84% of Earth's volume.It is predominantly solid but in geological time it behaves as a very viscous fluid.The mantle encloses the hot core rich in iron and nickel, which makes up about 15% of Earth's volume.he mantle makes up about 84% of Earth's volume.

3. mantle-the layer of the earth between the crust and the core. layer-a relatively thin sheetlike expanse or region lying over or under another. geosphere, lithosphere-the solid part of the earth consisting of the crust and outer mantle.lower mantle-the deeper part of the mantle.t consists mainly of silicate minerals and has an upper, partially molten part and a lower, solid part. The upper mantle is the source of magma and volcanic lava. 2. The layer of soft tissue that covers the body of a clam, oyster, or other mollusk and secretes the material that forms the shell.
