The Earth comprises of a series of layers, that is, the crust, the mantle, the outer core, and the inner core.

The crust floats on a layer of semi-molten rocks known as the mantle. The mantle is the thickest layer of Earth, that is, of about 3000 kilometers and comprises of semi-molten rocks. In the mantle, the molten rock is known as magma.

Thus, mantle is the thickest layer of the Earth.

Answer;

-Hottest layer
- Is made of solid rock

Step-by-step explanation;
The Earth can be divided into four main layers: the solid crust on the outside, the mantle, the outer core and the inner core.
The mantle extends from where the crust ends, it is the thickest layer of the earth, composed of silicate rocks, and very viscous. High temperatures make the silicate material to be ductile thus can flow.
