What is produced by movements of faults around the lithosphere and asthenosphere?

The lithosphere is the Earth's outermost crust. The asthenosphere is a ductile, somewhat deformable, layer 60-150 miles (100-250 km) below the Earth's surface, under the lithosphere. Movements between the two layers cause earthquakes.

Is the lithosphere stronger than the Aesthenosphere?
Yes. The asthenosphere is molten and plastic, the lithosphere is mostly not molten and is rigid.
What are Large pieces of lithosphere that move around on the asthenosphere?
tectonic plate
Does the lithosphere have a greater temperature than the earth's mantle?
The lithosphere is the upper portion of the mantle. Its temperature is around 300 to 500 degrees Celsius. The lower portion of the mantle, which is the asthenosphere, has a temperature of around 4500 degrees Celsius.
What is the composition of the athenosphere?
The Athenosophere is the layer below the lithosphere in the mantle. It can bend like plastic, but if you kicked it, you would stub your toe.
What Is the theory that the earths lithosphere is divided into tectonic plates that move around on top of the asthenosphere?
A theory that says the lithosphere is divided into plates that move around on top of the asthenosphere is called '' plate tectonics''
What is something produced by movements of faults around the lithosphere?
Earthquake
Large pieces of the lithosphere that move around on the asthenosphere are called?
large pieces of the lithosphere that move around on the asthenosphere are called Tectonic Plates.
What happens in asthenosphere?
It's where the plates of the lithosphere move around on, the plastic like layer of the asthenosphere. the plates move around on these

The answer is Tectonic Plates
