Is earths mantle hotter or cooler than the crust?
The mantle is hotter than the crust.
How much larger is the mantle then the crust?
The mantle is substantially larger than the Earth's crust. The crust varies in thickness, anywhere from 5-70 km, while the mantle measures at about 2900 km. Also, while the crust accounts for less than one percent of the Earth's over all volume, the mantle makes up a hefty 84%.
The mantle has less aluminum and less what than the crust does?
The mantle has less aluminum and less silicon than the crust does.
Which is thicker mantle or crust?
The mantle is thicker than the crust. The Earth's crust is relatively thin, with an average thickness of about 5-70 km, while the mantle is much thicker, extending from the base of the crust to a depth of about 2,900 km.
What does the crust float on?
The crust rides or floats on the mantle. :)

The crust floats on the mantle because?
the crust(~2.7g/cm3) is less dense than the mantle(~3.3 g/cm3)
What the crust and mantle don't have in common?
The crust is above the mantle and the mantle is below the crust
Why doesnt the crust fall into the mantle and burn up?
the crust is lighter and less dense than the mantle...thus it floats on top.
The mantle has less aluminum and less?
The mantle has less aluminum and silicon than the crust does.
What element does the crust have more of than the mantle?
Silicon
Does the mantle separate the crust and mantle?
No the Mantle seperates the crust and the outer core
Does the continental or the oceanic crust extend farther into the mantle?
The continental crust because it is thicker than the oceanic crust
What layers of earth makes up the lithosphere?
Crust and the upper mantle
