The plastic-like layer of the Earth's upper mantle directly below the lithosphere is called the asthenosphere.

What is the layer beneath the lithosphere made of slowly moving rock in the mantle?
mesosphere
In which layer is the asthenosphere and the lithosphere located?
The mantle is the layer where asthenosphere and the lithosphere are located.
What is the plastic portion of the upper mantle?
It is called the asthenosphere, the layer directly below the lithosphere.
What layer contains the lithosphere asthenosphere and mesosphere?
The layer containing the Lithosphere, Asthenosphere and Mesosphere is the Mantle. The Upper Mantle composes of the Lithosphere while the Lower Mantle composes the Asthenosphere.
What layer lies beneath the lithosphere?
The asthenosphere.
What is the layer beneath the lithosphere made of slowly moving rock in the mantle?
mesosphere
The Gutenberg Discontinuity is found beneath this layer of the lithosphere?
The Gutenberg discontinuity is actually found at the base of the mantle, not the lithosphere.
In which layer is the asthenosphere and the lithosphere located?
The mantle is the layer where asthenosphere and the lithosphere are located.
What is the plastic portion of the upper mantle?
It is called the asthenosphere, the layer directly below the lithosphere.
The earth mantle includes which three of Earth layers?
The three Earth layers that are included in the Earth mantle are the lithosphere, asthenosphere, and mesosphere. The lithosphere is the solid, outermost layer that consists of the crust and uppermost part of the mantle. The asthenosphere is a more plastic and ductile layer beneath the lithosphere that allows for the movement of Earth's tectonic plates. The mesosphere is the rigid, lower part of the mantle that extends towards the Earth's core.
What layer contains the lithosphere asthenosphere and mesosphere?
The layer containing the Lithosphere, Asthenosphere and Mesosphere is the Mantle. The Upper Mantle composes of the Lithosphere while the Lower Mantle composes the Asthenosphere.
What is the difference between the asthenosphere and magnetosphere?
The asthenosphere is a layer of Earth's mantle upper consisting of hot rock with a plastic texture. It is beneath the rigid lithosphere. The magnetosphere is Earth's magnetic field.
What layer lies beneath the lithosphere?
The asthenosphere.
How is the lithosphere different from the layer beneath it?
The layer beneath the lithosphere is much softer and flows very slowly.
Is the crust and the top layer of the mantle called lithosphere?
Yes the crust and the top layer of the mantle is called Lithosphere.
What is a rigid layer made up of the uppermost part of the mantle and crust?
The rigid layer that is the upper mantle and crust is called the lithosphere.
Solid layer just below the lithosphere?
The lithosphere is the physical layer of the Earth that contains the crust and the brittle uppermost mantle.
