Answer:
it is greater than that of crust because e density increases as you go down
The density of the mantle is more than that of the crust.
Earth is the only planet in the solar system which habitats life in it. It is made up of three layers namely outer layer called crust, middle layer called mantle and the innermost layer called core. The outer layer crust is the region of the earth where lives exist.
When we compare the density of the three layers with one another it is understood that density of the mantle to be greater than the crust. The density of top as well as bottom region of crust comprising is 5.1 [tex]g/cm^3[/tex], whereas in case of mantle it is 7.8 [tex]g/cm^3[/tex].
Thus, it is proved that mantle is heavier than the crust.
