The Earth layer that is located between the outer core and the crust is the mantle. To arrive at this answer, we can break down the layers of the Earth and examine their characteristics.
The outermost layer of the Earth is the crust, which is the thinnest layer and consists of solid rocks and minerals. Beneath the crust is the mantle, a thick layer made up of hot and semi-fluid rock materials. The mantle extends approximately 2,900 kilometers (1,800 miles) towards the Earth's core.
After the mantle comes the outer core. This layer is composed of liquid metal, primarily iron and nickel. The outer core surrounds the inner core, which is the Earth's innermost layer and is solid due to extreme pressure despite high temperatures.
Taking this information into account, we identify the mantle as the layer that lies between the outer core and the crust. Therefore, the correct response is "mantle."
