a gas
solid
The asthenosphere is a ductile solid.The asthenosphere is a layer of the mantle that consists of slowing flowing solid rock, so I would say it is considered both a liquid and a solid in one.
The asthenosphere is a flowing solid. It's sort of a liquid and a solid.
No. The rock of the asthenosphere forms a ductile solid.
Solid
the inner core
The lithosphere is a solid layer of the Earth comprising the crust and upper part of the mantle. It is neither a liquid nor a gas, but a rigid layer that rests on the more fluid asthenosphere below.
yes because it is a solid that can move
No, the asthenosphere is a semi-solid layer of the Earth's mantle that flows slowly over time due to high temperatures and pressure. It is not a cool solid rock.
The solid crust floats on the asthenosphere because it is less dense than the underlying semi-solid asthenosphere. This buoyancy is due to the difference in densities between the materials, with the less dense crust able to "float" on the more dense asthenosphere.
The asthenosphere is a semi-fluid layer within the Earth's mantle. It behaves more like a solid over short time scales, but can flow slowly over long periods of time due to high temperatures and pressure.
The lithosphere is solid and does not flow, but is carried on top of the asthenosphere.
