HI HERE IS THE ANSWER
MANTLE
the layer just below The crust is called the Mantle( also known as mesosphere). it is made up of denser matter and has an average density of 3.2. this mantle is the storehouse of magma— the molten Rock under the surface of the earth. the thickness of this layer is about 2900 km between the Crust and the core. the most common minerals found here is called olivine ( a magnesium iron silicate) because of its olive-green colour.

The interior part beneath the crust is called as mantle,which is about 2,900 km thick. The major elements of the mantle are silica(si), Magnesium (Mg)and hence it is also termed as SIMA. In the upper part of the mantle,the rock remains solid, Whereas in the lower part of the mantle,rocks are in molten form.
This Molten rock inside the earth is called 'Magma'.
