Is the lithosphere and asthenosphere boundary above or below the Moho?
Tracy4u45
The boundary between the asthenosphere and the lithosphere is normally below the Moho (which marks the boundary between the crust and the mantle).
The exception to this is below mid-ocean ridges where the moho and the lithosphere / asthenosphere boundary are at the same depth.

Where does the layer lies below the lithosphere?
The lithosphere lies above the asthenosphere. The asthenosphere is where isostatic adjustments take place and it is a very ductile region. Seismic waves pass slower through this region of the earth than they do through the overlying lithosphere.
What layer is directly below the lithosphere?
It is the asthenosphere.
What region of earth is directly below the lithosphere?
asthenosphere
How long is the asthenosphere?
The asthenosphere is a part of the upper mantle of the Earth. It is below the lithosphere and can be over 400 miles thick in areas.
What lies beneath the tectonics plates?
The Mesosphere lies below the Asthenosphere.Above the Asthenosphere is the Lithosphere.
The asthenosphere float on which structural zone?
The lower boundary of the asthenosphere is not well defined. It lies below the lithosphere and above the lower mantle and outer core. It usually lies at depths of 80-200 km but can range as deep as 700 km.
Which mechanical layer lies below the lithosphere?
The asthenosphere lies below the lithosphere.

Which layer of the earth contains the asthenosphere?
The asthenosphere is located in the upper mantle. The asthenosphere is below the lithosphere, the brittle outer shell of the Earth.
What is a place where the crust of the lithosphere has fractured?
A place where the crust of the lithosphere has fractured is known as the asthenosphere. The asthenosphere is located below the lithosphere and is where plate tectonic movement occurs.

A place where the crust of the lithosphere has fractured is known as the asthenosphere. The asthenosphere is located below the lithosphere and is where plate tectonic movement occurs.
What is the layer of the earth immediately below the lithosphere?
Asthenosphere.
