Plastic-like rock is found in the asthenosphere, the layer of Earth directly beneath the crust and uppermost mantle. Though consisting of hard rock, the high temperatures and inclusion of a small amount of molten material allows the rock to behave in a plastic-like manner; that is, it can be moved and bent without breaking.
