The temperature of the Asthenosphere is 1,600 degrees C.
The asthenosphere is the layer of Earth that lies at a depth 6050 mi (10050 km) beneath Earth's surface. It was first named in 1914 by the British geologist J. Barrell, who divided Earth's overall structure into three major sections: the lithosphere, or outer layer of rock-like material; the asthenosphere; and the centrosphere, or central part of the planet. The asthenosphere gets its name from the Greek word for weak, asthenis, because of the relatively fragile nature of the materials of which it is made. It lies in the upper portion of Earth's structure traditionally known as the mantle.
What else can I help you with?
Is Earth's mantle hot?
A common definition of the lithosphere-astenosphere boundary is a thermal one. The astenosphere begins when 1300°C are reached. The lithosphere (containing the crust and the lithospheric mantle) is thus cooler than 1300°C but the lower portion of the lithosphere is still very hot (maybe 500-900°C or so). From the asthenosphere down towards the core the temperature keeps increasing and at the core the mantle has an estimated temperature of 4000°C.
What is the chemical compound of the asthenosphere?
Astenosphere contain pyroxenes and olivines.
What best describes the material that makes up earths astenosphere?
assorted gases
How are convection currents astenosphere and lithospheric plates related?
lithosphereic plates are the cooler plates. they help everyone with their convection.
How does the material of the asthenosphere differ from the material of the lithoshere?
the material in the astehnosphere can flow slowly and the lithosphere flows on top of the astenosphere HOPE I HELPED!!
Where do convection currents take place in the earth?
Convection currents are located in the astenosphere in boiling water and lots of other places
What are the 3 sections in the mantle?
The mantle is divided into the upper mantle, transition zone, and lower mantle. The upper mantle is beneath the lithosphere, the transition zone lies between the upper and lower mantle, and the lower mantle extends to the outer core.
How thick is the astenosphere?
The asthenosphere is approximately 100-200 kilometers thick beneath the Earth's crust. It is a semi-plastic layer of the mantle that lies below the lithosphere and plays a key role in plate tectonics and mantle convection.
The core of the earth is made up of how many layers?
Inner core Outer core Lower mantle Upper mantle Astenosphere Moho Lithosphere Crust
