They are chemically the basic same type of rock. Heat and pressure cause the rock to become more fluid as depth increases, so the solid rock (termed lithosphere) floats upon the more liquid rock of the asthenosphere.
They are both part of the Earth
the are both mechanical properties (meaning they are moving)
what are the similarity between aim objective
the similarity between sports and games are that there really entertaining, enjoyable and fun. you learn better.
The only similarity which I identified between these programs is of "HUMAN INTERACTION"
which of the following describes the similarity between the retained earning, and common stock account?
long
The lithosphere is cold and brittle whereas the asthenosphere is hot and dense.
The boundary between the asthenosphere and the lithosphere is normally below the Moho (which marks the boundary between the crust and the mantle). The exception to this is below mid-ocean ridges where the moho and the lithosphere / asthenosphere boundary are at the same depth.

The asthenosphere is more dense than the lithosphere.
The differences and similarities between lithosphere and asthenosphere are as follows. Lithoshphere is made up of rigid rocks flowing above asthenosphere. Asthenosphere has rocks that are more plastic like because they can flow even tho they are still solid rock. The top part of asthenosphere is the same as the lower part of lithosphere, if the top part of asthenosphere cools it then becomes part of lithosphere. Lithosphere and asthenosphere are both made up of the upper part of the mantle on Earth but Lithosphere is also made up of the crust.
The mantle is the layer where asthenosphere and the lithosphere are located.
Because of something called Isostacy-the gravitational equilibrium between lithosphere and asthenosphere, such that plates "float" at an elevation that dependes on the thickness and density. EX. Think floating ice cubes
After the lithosphere is the asthenosphere, then comes the lower mantle. After that is the outer core, and then is the inner core.
The lithosphere and asthenosphere are both entirely part of Earth.
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.
