Upper Mantle
The part of the mantle below the lithosphere is called the Asthenosphere.

The Asthenosphere.
The asthenosphere is located in the upper mantle, just below the lithosphere. The lithosphere is the outermost layer of the Earth's crust that includes the rigid upper part of the mantle, while the asthenosphere is a semi-molten layer below the lithosphere that allows tectonic plates to move.
The lithosphere is a part of the mantle ( the layer of Earth just below the crust_
The rigid layer that includes the upper part of the mantle and the crust of the Earth is called the lithosphere. This layer is divided into several tectonic plates that float on top of the partially molten asthenosphere below. The lithosphere is responsible for the movement of tectonic plates and the formation of geological features on Earth.
Mantle is part of the Earth's lithosphere.
The asthenosphere is located in the upper mantle. The asthenosphere is below the lithosphere, the brittle outer shell of the Earth.
The uppermost layer of the mantle is called the lithosphere. It is a rigid outer layer that includes the crust and a small part of the upper mantle. The lithosphere is divided into tectonic plates that float on the semi-fluid asthenosphere below.
The lithosphere, asthenosphere, and mesosphere are all located within the Earth's upper mantle, which is part of the mantle layer. The lithosphere is the rigid outermost layer of the Earth, including the crust and uppermost mantle. The asthenosphere is a partially molten layer below the lithosphere, while the mesosphere is a solid layer beneath the asthenosphere.
Yes, it is the top part of the Earth's mantle
