Term · Oil and gas · MLC-T-OAG-002276

The thick layer of solid rock between the Earth's crust and outer core, comprising approximately 84% of the Earth's volume. It consists primarily of silicate rocks rich in iron and magnesium, which deform slowly over geological time through convection. Temperatures in the mantle range from about 500 to 900 degrees Celsius near the crust to over 4,000 degrees Celsius near the core.
