What is the partially melted part of earth that carries the crust?
It is called the asthenosphere.
What does astheno mean in asthenosphere?
In the context of the asthenosphere, "astheno" refers to weakness or lack of strength. The asthenosphere is a layer of the Earth's mantle that is partially molten and has a lower strength compared to the overlying lithosphere. This relative weakness allows for the movement of tectonic plates.
