All of the asthenosphere is contained within a larger layer called the mantle.
What else can I help you with?
What is the relationship between the mantle and the asthenosphere?
The asthenosphere is a layer within the upper mantle. It is a more ductile and partially molten region of the mantle that allows for the movement of tectonic plates above it. The mantle, which includes the asthenosphere, is the layer of the Earth located between the crust and the core.
What best describes the best relationship between the inner core outer core mantle lithosphere and asthenosphere?
The inner core is solid iron, the outer core is liquid iron, the mantle is solid rock, and the lithosphere and asthenosphere are parts of the Earth's crust. The lithosphere is rigid and sits on top of the asthenosphere, which is more ductile and able to flow over time due to higher temperatures and pressures. This relationship allows for the movement of tectonic plates and the convection currents that drive plate motion.
Is asthenosphere the lower mantle?
No. The asthenosphere is part of the upper mantle.
What is the boundary between the asthenosphere and the stiffer mantle?
Shi, I dk
Is the asthenosphere the mantle?
The asthenosphere is part of the mantle, one of several layers.
What is the layer in Earth's mantle between the lithosphere and upper mantle?
lithosphere
Does the asthenosphere occupies a majority of the mantle?
Yes. The asthenosphere is a part of the upper mantle.
What is the part of the mantle between the asthenosphere and the outer core?
Plate tectonics
What is the strong lower part of the mantle between the asthenosphere and the outer core also the layer of the atmosphere between the stratosphere and the thermosphere?
The strong lower part of the mantle between the asthenosphere and the outer core is called the lower mantle. The layer of the atmosphere between the stratosphere and the thermosphere is called the mesosphere.
What is the the part of the mantle below the lithosphere?
Upper Mantle
What is the zone from the base of the asthenosphere to the boundary of the mantle and core?
The zone you are referring to is the mesosphere, which lies between the base of the asthenosphere and the boundary separating the mantle from the core. It is characterized by high pressure and temperature conditions, as well as the gradual increase in density from the bottom of the mantle to the core-mantle boundary.
What is the middle sphere?
The lower part of the mantle between the asthenosphere and the outer core.
