Is the asthenosphere a plastic layer of rock in the mantle or is it a layer of earths crust and mantle?
The asthenosphere is a plastic layer of rock located in the upper mantle, below the lithosphere (earth's crust and uppermost mantle). It is responsible for the movement of tectonic plates due to its partially molten and ductile nature.
What if mantle were rock what feature would not form on earths surface?

What is the mantle's materials?
It's very high temperature down in mantle so it resulting a solid rock to change into "molten" state. The molten material in the mantle is magma.
What is the soft layer of rock in the earths mantle?
