The mantle and crust core are both rock, the crust core is a hard solidified rock, whereas the mantle is hot flowing rock.
The mantle and crust core are also connected because when the tectonic plates of the crust core separate (creating an earthquake) the crust core can connect again over a long period of time or the hot flowing rock of the mantle can come to the Earth's surface and solidify, creating new land.
Both the crust and the upper mantle are solid layers of the Earth's lithosphere. However, the crust is more brittle and less dense than the mantle. Additionally, the crust is composed primarily of oxygen and silicon (silicate minerals) whereas the mantle contains more iron and magnesium.
The three main layers of the Earth are the crust, mantle, and core. The crust is the outermost layer that we live on, the mantle is a thick layer beneath it, and the core is at the center of the Earth.
The upper mantle is located beneath the Earth's crust and above the lower mantle.
The crust and uppermost part of the mantle (lithospheric mantle) are located in the lithosphere. The lithosphere is composed of the rigid outermost layer of Earth, including the crust and the solid upper part of the mantle.
35 - 60 Kms would be the uppermost mantle, which along with the crust forms the hard, brittle lithosphere. The Mantle is a semi-molten layer.
The crust is above the mantle and the mantle is below the crust

No the Mantle seperates the crust and the outer core
Crust and the upper mantle
The crust rides or floats on the mantle. :)
Mantle Is The Below Layer Of The Crust In Earth.
The crust is much colder than the mantle.
uppermost part of the mantle and the crust together
The crust lies on top of the mantle because it is composed of less dense materials than the mantle is. The crust is essentially floating on the mantle.
The crust is thin and solid and the mantle is rockie
