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 temperature of the earths asthenosphere in degrees celsius?
The asthenosphere lies just below the lithosphere and composes the upper part of the Earth's mantle. Its temperature is 1300 degrees Celsius.
Why does the earth's crust sit on top of the mantel?
The outer core is composed of molten iron and nickel, which is much denser than the material that composes the mantle. So, in a sense, the mantle floats on top of the core just as the crust floats on top of the mantle.
What layer of the earth makes up the crustal plates?
The Earth is composed of three layers. The lithosphere composes the crust or outer layer, the mantle the middle layer followed by the outer and inner core.

What is the upper mantle of the earth made of?
The uppermost mantle is connected to the crust and forms the asthenosphere, which composes Earth's tectonic plates. The bulk of the mantle is composed of extremely hot rock under enormous pressure. The mantle may be very close to the melting point of the rock which composes it, or even partially melted. Mantle rock is higher in magnesium and iron than the crust. Rocks in the upper mantle are composed of the minerals olvine, garnet, spinel and pyroxene. With increasing depth, some of these minerals become unstable and are replaced by mineral polymorphs which have the same chemical composition, but different structures. For more information on the composition of the mantle as a whole, please see the related question.
