Hot Spot
The part of the mantle below the lithosphere is called the Asthenosphere.
The asthenosphere
Asthenosphere
The Asthenosphere.
The asthenosphere is located in the upper mantle, just below the lithosphere. The lithosphere is the outermost layer of the Earth's crust that includes the rigid upper part of the mantle, while the asthenosphere is a semi-molten layer below the lithosphere that allows tectonic plates to move.
The lithosphere is the physical layer of the Earth that contains the crust and the brittle uppermost mantle.
Upper Mantle
magna
The lithosphere, asthenosphere, and mesosphere are all located within the Earth's upper mantle, which is part of the mantle layer. The lithosphere is the rigid outermost layer of the Earth, including the crust and uppermost mantle. The asthenosphere is a partially molten layer below the lithosphere, while the mesosphere is a solid layer beneath the asthenosphere.

The asthenosphere is located in the upper mantle. The asthenosphere is below the lithosphere, the brittle outer shell of the Earth.
The asthenosphere lies below the lithosphere.
