Question

The Earth's mantle is
A.
hotter than the crust but cooler than the core.
B.
hotter than both the crust and the core.
C.
cooler than both the crust and the core.
D.
cooler than the crust but hotter than the core.

Answer 1

Answer:

C. cooler than both the crust and the core

Explanation:

It is observed that at the mantle, temperatures range from estimatedly 200 °C (392 °F) around the upper boundary with the crust to approximately 4,000 °C (7,230 °F) at the core-mantle boundary.

So we can say the mantle is cooler than both the crust and the core.
