Partially molten, plastic like, flowing layer located below the solid part of Earth's mantle is the Asthenosphere. The asthenosphere is mechanically weak and ductiley deforming region of the upper mantle.

3 How do earthquakes help us learn about the interior of the earth?
Earthquakes explain and support tectonic plate theory and show the movements of the plates over time. Fault lines also expose rock layers and allow geologists to study the rocks and the changes in the environment over time.An Earthquake gives out Seismic waves which. There are Primary Waves (P-Wave) and Secondary waves (S-Wave) The Secondary Seismic wave can't travel through liquid so when the sensors detect a wave and sees that some part the S-wave isn't going through a layer of the earth they know that that layer of the earth is Liquid.
How does the hydrosphere interact with the atmosphere?
The Hydrosphere is inside of the Atmosphere. The Hydrosphere contains earths water. Mostly were clouds are and precipitation happens.
What temperature and density changes and occur in convection cells of a fluid or plastic material?
What causes these plates to move? The important thing to remember is that heat flows from warm areas to cool areas. In the asthenosphere you have some areas that are hotter than others. When the cool areas are heated up, their density decreases and they rise. Eventually, they cool, sink and repeat the process all over again. The result is a circular motion or current in the flowing part of the mantle. This process is called convection. Convection is also responsible for currents in the air.Hot air (a gas) rises near the equator and flows toward the poles, where it cools, becomes denser and sinks.
Which rock group makes up least of earths crust?
Just to say: This question refers to rock groups. Not what type of rock.Igneous rocks make up most of the earth's crust.
How do you use waste?
Different kinds of waste can be used in different ways. Rotting vegetables can be composted and become fertilizer for a future gardening year. Sometimes materials from a torn-down building can be used as part of a new structure. Glass and plastic can be melted and used to make new glass or plastic items.
