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.

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

• 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.

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

• 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.

• 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.

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