What else can I help you with?
What is the state of matter of the asthenosphere?
Solid
Is the asthenosphere 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.
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 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
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
Is asthenosphere cool solid rock is it yes or no?
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.
Why is it that the solid crust stays a float on the athenosphere?
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 not considered solid because it can bend like plastic?
The asthenosphere is a semi-fluid layer beneath the lithosphere, and its ability to deform like plastic is due to high temperatures and pressure that allow solid rock to flow slowly over long periods of time. This behavior is distinct from the rigid behavior of solid rock in the lithosphere above it.
Is the asthenosphere solid or liquid?
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.
