The mantle forms approximately 80% of Earth's total volume and has an average density of 4.5 grams per cm^3. The continental crust and oceanic crust are much thinner and less dense layers than the mantle. The core is a much smaller and denser layer at the center of the Earth. The lithosphere is the outermost solid layer of the Earth and includes both the crust and uppermost part of the mantle.
