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!)
What else can I help you with?
What layers of the earth compose the earths plates?
upper part of the mantle and end of the crust.
Rigid layer of earths surface made up of the crust and a part of the upper mantle?
lithosphere
What is the name of the lower part of mantle and the upper part of mantle?
The lower part of the mantle is called the "lower mantle" or "mesosphere", while the upper part of the mantle is referred to as the "upper mantle" or "asthenosphere".
What is a rigid layer made up of the crust and the upper part of the earths mantle?
the Lithosphere or Lithospheric Plates
Do continents drift slowly on earths upper mantle or earths core?
Continents drift on top of the upper mantle. The core is much further down.
What part of the earths mantle that flows and moves the plates of the earth?
Mantle plumes are in the mantle, BELOW the Earth's crust. The circulation of heat from the lower mantle to the upper mantle can cause "hot spots" in the overlying crust, heating the magma in the areas.
What is another name for the earths crust and upper mantle?
It is called the lithosphere.

It's called the lithosphere.
