Wiki User
∙ 15y agoIt's called the asthenosphere, a layer of hot, ductile rock on which the lithosphere floats.

What is Lithosphere made up of?
The solid outer zone of the Earth is the lithosphere. The lithosphere is made up of the upper layer of the mantle and the crust of the Earth.
Which rigid zone on the Earth's surface forms the earth's drifting tectonic plates?
The lithosphere.
What is one of the characteristics of the asthenosphere?
The asthenosphere is a zone of weak material that exists below the lithosphere. The rock within this zone is easily deformed.
What is the lithosphere made up of?
The solid outer zone of the Earth is the lithosphere. The lithosphere is made up of the upper layer of the mantle and the crust of the Earth.
Which layer of the earth contains the asthenosphere?
The asthenosphere is located in the upper mantle. The asthenosphere is below the lithosphere, the brittle outer shell of the Earth.
The zone below the lithosphere it is more plastic than the lithosphere so it is easier to bend and move?
The zone below the lithosphere is the mantle. Convection currents occur here because of the magnetism in the Earth. It is somewhat plastic like.
What is the zone of earth beneath the lithosphere?
The asthenosphere.

The asthenosphere.
What is a plastic like layer of earth below the the lithosphere?
The asthenosphere.
What are the structural zone of earth?
Lithosphere, Asthenosphere, Mesosphere, outer core, inner core
What is one of the characteristics of the asthenosphere?
