The layer of Earth beneath the crust is called the mantle. It is composed of solid rock that is hot and flowing slowly in a process known as convection.
The crust and the upper mantle together are called the lithosphere. The lithosphere is a rigid outer layer of the Earth that is broken into tectonic plates.
The upper mantle is divided into two main sections: the lithosphere and the asthenosphere. The lithosphere is rigid and includes the crust, while the asthenosphere is a semi-fluid layer beneath the lithosphere where convection currents occur.
The mantle is located directly beneath the Earth's crust and is approximately 1,800 miles (2,900 kilometers) thick. The boundary between the crust and the mantle is known as the Mohorovičić discontinuity or Moho.
The outermost layer of the Earth is called the crust. Beneath the crust is the mantle, followed by the outer core and the inner core.

plate tectonics
Earth's crust is broken into sections called tectonic plates. They each float on the mantle, as part of the Earth called the lithosphere. Each is separated by highly seismic regions that usually spawn volcanoes. One of which is the Ring of Fire in the Pacific.
