The zone below the lithosphere is the mantle. Convection currents occur here because of the magnetism in the Earth. It is somewhat plastic like.

What is the composition of the athenosphere?
The Athenosophere is the layer below the lithosphere in the mantle. It can bend like plastic, but if you kicked it, you would stub your toe.
What are Asthenosphere and lithosphere?
We speak of the Earth as consisting of three main regions; the crust as the solid outermost part, the inner core at the very center and the mantle in between. Then we give the regions where they come together names and we also subdivide the three main regions and give the subdivisions names.It is the lithosphere and the asthenosphere that are the parts of the surface moving when we talk of continental drift.The lithosphere is outer portion of the Earth. It is composed of the oceanic and continental crust, along with the rigid upper mantle.The asthenosphere is the plastic like upper mantle directly below the lithosphere where rock can move, bend, and deform without breaking. Below that, the mantle become more fluid and is the major part of the volume of the Earth.The inner most part, the core, is only about 15% of the whole Earth.
What is easier to bend paper clips or hair grips?
paper clips
Why is the athenosphere considered to be a plastic-like texture?
The athenosphere is considered to be bendable like plastic, but is considered a solid. Plastic is still a solid, but you can still bend it. Just because you can bend an object, doesn't mean it isn't a solid, it is still the same object, but maybe a different shape.
What is it called when rocks bend instead of breaking?
Plastic deformation, either elastic or ductile.

Are plastic and nylon minerals?
Yes...Nylon does meet the definition of a plastic.
Part of earth's interior that flows like plastic?
Partially molten, plastic like, flowing layer located below the solid part of Earth's mantle is the Asthenosphere. The asthenosphere is mechanically weak and ductiley deforming region of the upper mantle.
What are the disadvantages of the plastic chair?
it can bend then break.
What elements make up the asthenosphere?
The lithosphere is composed of the oceanic and continental crust, along with the rigid upper mantle. The asthenosphere is the plastic like upper mantle directly below the lithosphere where rock can move, bend, and deform without breaking.
Are cutlery that have handles made of plastic more likely to break than metal ones are to bend?
Plastic is far more likely to bend than metal cutlery.
Is silverware as easy to bend and dent as stainless steal tableware?
Yes and No depending on the pureness of the silver. The more pure the easier it will bend the less pure the harder it will bend.
The asthenosphere is not considered solid because it can bend like plastic?
True
How do you bend abs plastic pipe?
You don't. You use preformed elbows.
What is easier to bend paper clips or hair grips?
paper clips
How do you make snowboards bend easier?
Buy a more flexible board.
