The asthenosphere is a layer of Earth's mantle upper consisting of hot rock with a plastic texture. It is beneath the rigid lithosphere. The magnetosphere is Earth's magnetic field.

This solid layer is found between the inner mantle and the lithosphere?
asthenosphere
What is the difference between lithosphere and asthenosphere?
The difference between the lithosphere and the asthenosphere is that the asthenosphere is the lower part of the upper mantle it behaves like a plastic but flows much more easily than the rest of the mantle. The lithosphere however, includes the entire crust and the uppermost part of the mantle, it is more rigid and brittle and doesn't flow.
What is the relationship between the mantle and the asthenosphere?
All of the asthenosphere is contained within a larger layer called the mantle.
Is the lithosphere and asthenosphere boundary above or below the Moho?
The boundary between the asthenosphere and the lithosphere is normally below the Moho (which marks the boundary between the crust and the mantle). The exception to this is below mid-ocean ridges where the moho and the lithosphere / asthenosphere boundary are at the same depth.
How are the lithoshphere and asthenosphere similar and how are they different?
The differences and similarities between lithosphere and asthenosphere are as follows. Lithoshphere is made up of rigid rocks flowing above asthenosphere. Asthenosphere has rocks that are more plastic like because they can flow even tho they are still solid rock. The top part of asthenosphere is the same as the lower part of lithosphere, if the top part of asthenosphere cools it then becomes part of lithosphere. Lithosphere and asthenosphere are both made up of the upper part of the mantle on Earth but Lithosphere is also made up of the crust.
What is the range of the asthenosphere?
The temperature range of the asthenosphere is between 1500C-1600C.
What is the region of the Earth's magnetic field shaped by the solar wind?
Magnetosphere
What are the differences between the lithosphere and the asthenosphere?
The lithosphere is cold and brittle whereas the asthenosphere is hot and dense.

What is between the asthenosphere and the outer core!?
the Mesosphere
How does the magnetosphere happen?
If we did not have the Magnetosphere we would die from harmful Solar Wind that the Magnetosphere blocks. The Magnetosphere is like our personal shield along with our atmosphere!
How many poles does Jupiter's magnetosphere have?
Jupiter's magnetosphere has four poles.
What is the Earth's magnetic field called?
