Why? The mantle isn't the core.


Correct, but while not the core it’s still made of rock and other metals. I guess it’s possible that water is in the mantle, but if it is I presume it would be imbedded in rock and not flowing as we see in the crust.

The Kola Bore hole in Russia is the worlds deepest bore hole at 7.5 miles. Started in 1970 and stopped in 1994 due to the extreme heat. And what was found? Yep, water.
