Earth's Layers (The internal structure of the Earth)

The crust is a silicate solid, the mantle is a viscous molten rock, the outer core is a viscous liquid, and the inner core is a dense solid.

MANTLE

A mantle is a layer inside a planetary body bounded below by a core and above by a crust. Mantles are made of rock or ices, and are generally the largest and most massive layer of the planetary body. Mantles are characteristic of planetary bodies that have undergone differentiation by density.

⭐CORE⭐

Earth's inner core is the innermost geologic layer of the Earth. It is primarily a solid ball with a radius of about 1,220 kilometres, which is about 20% of the Earth's radius or 70% of the Moon's radius. There are no samples of the Earth's core available for direct measurement, as there are for the Earth's mantle.

Answer:

The difference is given below.

Explanation:

Earth's mantle is made of semi-solid rock. The different layers of the mantle are made of rocks of different types and densities, but all are denser than the crust, and the entire mantle is hot. Mantle temperature is low near the core and near the crust. The temperature difference in the mantle explains the density of the rock. They break, like when faults move and earthquakes occur. As you see in lava, as you get closer to the core, the rock melts and flows.

The core is not a rock, but a layer of very hot metal. The outer part of the core is composed of iron and nickel, and the inner part is almost entirely iron. The inner core is almost completely solid and spherical. Despite being the hottest region on Earth, it is also the strongest region due to the tremendous pressure it is under. The inner part is much dense and heavy than the mantle. The core also generate heat absorbed by the mantle. Heat is generate by radioactive element in the middle of the earth.
