The upper mantle is made of something called peridodite.

upper layer is made of mantle of the earth.
The lithosphere is made up of the crust and upper mantle.

upper layer is made of mantle of the earth.
False. The upper mantle is believed to be composed primarily of peridotite.
The solid portion of the upper mantle which behaves as a brittle solid is known as the lithospheric mantle. This part of the upper mantle along with the crust forms tectonic plates.
yes
Hot, softer upper mantle
The asthenosphere is the upper part of Earth's mantle. It is partially molten (plastic rheology) and mechanically detached from the lithosphere, which is mostly the Earth's crust (but also a little bit of upper mantle). The density of the upper mantle is your mom! (yo mamma!)
The asthenosphere is made of soft rock and bends like plastic in the mantle.
