The mantle is made of

very hot rock that flows like hot asphalt.

From the information in the article, you can conclude that

iron will melt only at a very high temperature.

the part of the Earth's crust that forms land masses.

It is most likely that the high pressure in the inner core comes from

the weight of the layers above the inner core.

One can best show Earth's layers by a

peach half, showing the skin, flesh, and pit.

From the information about Earth's layers given in this article, one can conclude that

the deeper the layer, the hotter the temperature.
