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.

Mantle is part of the Earth's lithosphere.
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.

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.
