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.

∙ 9y agoThe asthenosphere is mostly solid but may have some melted regions. It is the region in the mantle directly below the lithosphere.

∙ 9y agoNo. While small amounts of melt may be present, the asthenosphere as a whole is a ductile solid.

Is the asthenosphere solid or liquid?
The asthenosphere is a ductile solid.
What is the state of matter of the asthenosphere?
Solid
What is a synonym for asthenosphere?
platic, solid, hard, and below..
What is the cool solid blocks that float on the asthenosphere?
Lithosphere
True or false the asthenosphere is not considered solid because it can bend like plastic?
False - the asthenosphere is a solid that deforms in a ductile fashion - it undergoes permanent plastic deformations. Further information: The statement must be false. Plastic is a solid, so if something is going to be considered a non-solid, it cannot be like a solid. Whether or not the asthenosphere is solid, one cannot argue that it is non-solid as a result of it having a characteristic of plastic.
Is the asthenosphere solid or liquid?
The asthenosphere is a ductile solid.
What is the state of matter of the asthenosphere?
Solid
Is the asthenosphere made of liquid or solid?
solid
Is Asthenosphere a liquid rock?
No. The rock of the asthenosphere forms a ductile solid.
Is the asthenosphere a gas or a solid?
a gas
This solid layer is found between the inner mantle and the lithosphere?
asthenosphere
What layer of earth is made of melted rock and solid?
the inner core
Does The solid rock of the asthenosphere has the ability to flow.?
yes because it is a solid that can move

Lithosphere

Is the lithosphere solid but able to flow?
The lithosphere is solid and does not flow, but is carried on top of the asthenosphere.
