Also known as Earth's mantle

layer of silicate rock between Earth's crust and its outer core

AI overview

The mantle is a thick layer of hot rock made of silicates that sits between Earth's outer crust and the core beneath it. It matters because its movement and heat drive many of Earth's most important processes, including plate tectonics, volcanism, and earthquakes.
