The 22 pages that link to Earth's mantle, each with the reason it gives.

• Oceanic crustNarrower topic: Mantle rock is the source of oceanic-crust magma and its destination after subduction.

• Planetary differentiationBroader topic: Its chemistry records what remained after much of Earth’s iron entered the core.

• PeridotiteNarrower topic: Peridotite makes up most of the mantle's upper portion.

• Mohorovičić discontinuityRelated: The Moho marks the mantle’s upper boundary.

• Decompression meltingNarrower topic: Decompression melting mainly occurs as mantle material rises toward the surface.

• Core–mantle boundaryNarrower topic: It forms the rocky side of the interface.

• Arthur HolmesBroader topic: Holmes placed the proposed convective circulation within this layer.

• Inge LehmannCompared with: Unlike the core structure she investigated, the mantle is predominantly rocky and surrounds the core.

• Mantle xenolithNarrower topic: These fragments originate within this layer and provide direct samples of it.

• Earth's crustRelated: It underlies the crust and supplies much of the material involved in crustal formation.

• Earth's outer coreRelated: The mantle forms the outer core's upper boundary and removes heat from it.

• Earth's inner coreRelated: Mantle seismic paths and boundary behavior help constrain the inner core’s structure.

• Mantle transition zoneNarrower topic: The transition zone is a depth-defined region within this layer.

• Mantle viscosityNarrower topic: Mantle viscosity describes the mantle's bulk resistance to long-term deformation.

• Andrija MohorovičićRelated: The faster seismic waves he detected traveled through this layer below the crust.

• Harold JeffreysNarrower topic: Jeffreys’s mechanical objections concerned the strength and flow of mantle and crustal materials.

• Ultramafic rockNarrower topic: Ultramafic rocks resemble the dominant compositions inferred for the upper mantle.

• ForsteriteNarrower topic: Magnesium-rich olivine, including forsterite, is a major mantle mineral.

• Internal structure of EarthBroader topic: It accounts for most of Earth’s volume and drives large-scale interior circulation.

• FayaliteRelated: Fayalite-rich compositions help clarify iron–magnesium behavior in mantle minerals.

• Birch's lawBroader topic: Mantle density and seismic speeds are compared using Birch-like relations.

• Lower mantleNarrower topic: The lower mantle is the deepest major region within this layer.
