What physical layer of earth is located beneath the lithosphere?
The asthenosphere.
What is the physical composition of the asthenosphere?
The asthenosphere consists of many varieties of rock which is mostly in a semi molten condition. The temperatures in the asthenosphere reach levels high enough for most of the rock to become soft and plastic, capable of slowly moving while remaining in a solid state, while only about 10 percent is totally molten. The soft, plastic, but solid quality of the asthenosphere allows lithospheric plates to slide on top, resulting in the many earthquakes which occur in this region.
What is the state of matter of the asthenosphere?
Solid
What are earth's physical layers in sequence?
The Lithosphere, Asthenosphere, Mesosphere, outer core and Inner core.
Most deformable layer of the Earth?
Asthenosphere
How do physical properties of the asthenosphere support the ideas of continental drift and sea floor?
The asthenosphere allows tectonic plates to move

What best describes the physical nature of the earth's lithosphere and the asthenosphere?
The lithosphere is rigid and commonly deforms in a brittle manner; the asthenosphere tends to flow slowly and deform in a plastic manner.
What are the 5 physical layers of the earth?
Inner core, outer core, asthenosphere, lithosphere, and crust.
What are earth's physical layers in sequence?

What two layers of the earth are densest?
The two densest physical layers of the earth are the lithosphere and the asthenosphere.
