Earth's thick plastic-like layer is the mantle. The mantle is a dense, semi-solid layer of the Earth's interior that lies beneath the crust and extends down to the outer core. It is composed of solid rock that can flow slowly over long periods of time.
Something that has a large distance between its opposite sides or surfaces can be considered thick. Tend to be solid and not easily bent or broken.
The lithosphere.
The layer of solid unbroken rocks in the Earth's crust is called the lithosphere.
The inner mantle is approximately 2,900 kilometers thick. It is composed of solid rock that behaves like a very thick paste over long periods of time.
The mantle is found between the core and the innermost layer of the earth. The mantle is made up of mostly solid rock that is 1,802 miles thick.
No. As the word "core" might imply, it is the innermost part of Earth. The outermost layer is the crust.
The Earth's core is about 1200km thick. it is mostly iron, and is solid due to extreme pressure. The temperature can be up to 7000 degrees.
The Earths crust is approximately 650 km deep.
It is the skin of the rhino that is 5 cm thick. The skin of the rhino and hippopotamus is usually between 1.5cm and 5cm thick.

Earth's thick plastic-like layer is the mantle. The mantle is a dense, semi-solid layer of the Earth's interior that lies beneath the crust and extends down to the outer core. It is composed of solid rock that can flow slowly over long periods of time.
The inner core is 1216 km and made of solid iron. It is approx 5000 degrees C and it doesnt melt because of everything else pushing down on it.
Venus is solid, but is covered in a thick gaseous atmosphere that is many kilometres thick.
