How are the lithoshphere and asthenosphere similar and how are they different?

The differences and similarities between lithosphere and asthenosphere are as follows. Lithoshphere is made up of rigid rocks flowing above asthenosphere. Asthenosphere has rocks that are more plastic like because they can flow even tho they are still solid rock. The top part of asthenosphere is the same as the lower part of lithosphere, if the top part of asthenosphere cools it then becomes part of lithosphere. Lithosphere and asthenosphere are both made up of the upper part of the mantle on Earth but Lithosphere is also made up of the crust.

What is the partially melted part of earth that carries the crust?
It is called the asthenosphere.
What part of the mantle is part of the lithosphere?
asthenosphere
The layer directly under the Lithosphere?
the asthenosphere
What is the density of the asthenosphere?
The density of the Earth's asthenosphere is 4 gm/cm^3.
Is The asthenosphere is a region in the earth where magma chambers form?
Yes. That is what the asthenosphere is.
How is the lithosphere similar to the asthenosphere?
There both in the mantle
How are the lithosphere and asthenosphere similar?
lithosephere is the uppermost part of a mantel and the mantel and the crust together and the asthenosphere is less riggid
What is the material in the asthenosphere?
all different things
Why does rock in the asthenosphere behave differently from the rock above?
The rock in the asthenosphere behaves differently from the rock above because the rate of deformation is different.
What lies beneath the asthenosphere?
The asthenosphere is part of the upper mantle and it is beneath the lithosphere. Beneath the asthenosphere and mantle is the outer core and beneath that is the inner core.
Most deformable layer of the Earth?
Asthenosphere
What is the partially melted part of earth that carries the crust?
It is called the asthenosphere.
What color is the asthenosphere?
the asthenosphere is green:D
Is the Earth's asthenosphere rigid?
No. The asthenosphere is plastic in texture.
What make the asthenosphere?
the mantel makes up the asthenosphere
What is temperature of asthenosphere?
The asthenosphere is about 1600 degrees Celsius. :)
