The asthenosphere contains partly melted rock from the upper part of the mantle, while the lithosphere is a rigid layer of the Earth's crust and upper mantle that does not contain melted rock. The asthenosphere's semi-fluid behavior allows tectonic plates to move across it.
Not as such, but the Mantle "flows".
the lithosphere
The mantle
the lithosphere is the full crust and top part of the mantle but the asthenosphere is just a little bit above the middle of the mantle but not any of he crust
The asthenosphere is located in the upper part of the Earth's mantle, below the lithosphere. It is composed of partially molten rock that is ductile and flows slowly, allowing tectonic plates to move on top of it.
The mantle. Specifically, the upper mantle, or asthenosphere, is directly below the crust. It is a layer of melted, but still firm and slightly gooey, rock.
The layer of the mantle that is solid rock but flows like putty is called the asthenosphere. This layer is located beneath the lithosphere and allows tectonic plates to move due to its partially molten nature.
the inner core
The partly melted, plastic-like rock of the Earth's lower mantle is known as the "asthenosphere." This layer, located beneath the lithosphere, is composed of semi-solid rock that can flow slowly over geological time scales. Its plasticity allows for the movement of tectonic plates above it, playing a crucial role in plate tectonics.
The melted material is typically found in the outer layer of the Earth's interior known as the mantle. This layer lies between the crust and the core, and its high temperature and pressure conditions can cause rocks to partially melt, creating magma.
Earth's plates move due to convection currents in the mantle, which is a semi-solid layer beneath the Earth's crust. These plates interact at their boundaries, causing earthquakes, volcanic activity, and the formation of mountains. The movement of tectonic plates is responsible for shaping the Earth's surface over millions of years.
