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.

A mantle is a word for something that blankets over something else, like the loose cloak worn by Little Red Riding Hood or the layer of earth between the crust and core. Mantle is something that envelops and covers, like a tree covered in a mantle of snow. The Spanish writer Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra said, âBlessings on him who invented sleep, the mantle that covers all human thoughts.â Here, sleep is described as a mantle blanketing over the mind. Mantel is a variation of mantle, but it very specifically describes the shelf above a fireplace. Definitions of mantle.
