I think some of the caracteristics of the athenosphere is that its almost like plastic and can deform. But if anone thinks otherwies please help. I tried looking everywhere and all the other answers are crap.
One characteristic of the asthenosphere is that it is a semi-fluid layer beneath the lithosphere where the material can flow slowly over time. This property allows for the movement of tectonic plates.
It is called the asthenosphere.
The asthenosphere is the region of the upper mantle of the Earth. With a base depth of about 700 kilometers, it is involved in plate tectonic movement and isotactic adjustments, seismic waves pass through slowly and a small percentage of melt.

they sit on the asthenosphere
the mantel makes up the asthenosphere
No. The asthenosphere is plastic in texture.
