What part of the mantle is the asthenosphere found?
The asthenosphere lies in, and is the upper ductile part of, the mantle. It is the layer directly underneath the lithosphere; the layer composed of the crust and uppermost rigid mantle.
What contains the lower mantle?
The mantle extends to the core-mantle interface at approximately 2900 km depth. Thus, the mantle contains the lower portion of the lithosphere, the asthenosphere, and the mesosphere. The crust is made of the upper portion of the lithosphere.
Which layer of the earth contains the lower mantle?
The mesosphere is the sphere that contains the lower mantle. It is located above the outer core and under the lithosphere and asthenosphere.
Which of earth layers are the thickest?
As measured by its thickness from upper boundary to lower boundary in a downward direction, the mantle is the thickest layer of the Earth.
Is the lower part of the mantle called the lithosphere or asthenosphere?
The lower part of the mantle is actually names the mesosphere. It is overlain by the asthenosphere which is part of the upper mantle and this in turn is overlain by the lithosphere which is made up of the very uppermost mantle and the crust.
What layer contains the lithosphere asthenosphere and mesosphere?
The layer containing the Lithosphere, Asthenosphere and Mesosphere is the Mantle. The Upper Mantle composes of the Lithosphere while the Lower Mantle composes the Asthenosphere.
What is the strong lower layer of the mantle?
the asthenosphere
What part of the mantle is the asthenosphere found?

What contains the lower mantle?
The mantle extends to the core-mantle interface at approximately 2900 km depth. Thus, the mantle contains the lower portion of the lithosphere, the asthenosphere, and the mesosphere. The crust is made of the upper portion of the lithosphere.
Is asthenosphere the lower mantle?
No. The asthenosphere is part of the upper mantle.
Which layer of the earth contains the lower mantle?
The mesosphere is the sphere that contains the lower mantle. It is located above the outer core and under the lithosphere and asthenosphere.
The strong lower part of the mantle between the asthenosphere and the outer core?
The lower part of the mantle is called the mesosphere.
What lies beneath the asthenosphere?
The asthenosphere is part of the upper mantle and it is beneath the lithosphere. Beneath the asthenosphere and mantle is the outer core and beneath that is the inner core.
What is the strong lower part of the mantle between the asthenosphere and the outer core?
Mesosphere
What is the middle sphere?
The lower part of the mantle between the asthenosphere and the outer core.
What are the 2 layers of the mantle?
The upper mantle (asthenosphere) and the lower mantle
What contains the asthenosphere and the lower mantle?
The answer to this question would be the mantle.
