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.
The asthenosphere is composed of the layer of mantle below the lithosphere where the rock has plastic like qualities and is able to bend and deform without breaking.
The Earth's crust is the uppermost layer of the Earth and is solid. It sits on the Mantle which is the huge volume of below the crust but above the inner core.
The Earth's crust is solid and some of the upper mantle is solid too. Those together are called the Lithosphere. Below that, mantle material changes into a more liquid-like form. It is region where this transition from the solid to the liquid is taking place that the name asthenosphereis given. It is separately names because it is the movement of this part of the mantel that carries the tectonic plates above. When we speak of continental drift we are discussing motion of the lithosphere and have to include the continents (crust) plus this asthenosphere.
The asthenosphere is a highly viscous, mechanically weak, ductile region of the upper mantle of Earth. It is believed that parts of it are made from rock melt.
The layer that is the asthenosphere IS the asthenospehere.
Three layers:
Upper crust
Lower crust
Mantle lithosphere.
The crust and the uppermost rigid mantle.
upper mantel and the crust
mesosphere, asthenosphere, ionosphere
the mantel makes up the asthenosphere
both the lithosphere and the asthenosphere have hot matierial
There are three different chemical and physical elements that make up phosphate. These elements are oxygen, potassium and sodium.
The elements that make up a lead nitrate are lead nitrogen and oxygen
the mantel makes up the asthenosphere
The middle and lower mantle makes up the asthenosphere.

No, elements make up minerals.
The elements that make up honey are honey
Carbon, hydrogen and oxygen are the only elements that make up sugars.
The three parts that make up the Earths mantle are the crust, core, and mantle.
"metals"
There are two elements that make up the compound NaBr, or sodium bromide. These two elements are sodium and bromine.
