What layer lies beneath the lithosphere?

The asthenosphere.


The layer on which the tectonic plates move is called the what?

It is called the asthenosphere, the layer of hot, ductile rock directly below the lithosphere.


Layer of earth immediatly beneath the lithosphere?

Asthenosphere is directly before the lithosphere.


The layer directly under the Lithosphere?

The layer directly under the Lithosphere is the Asthenosphere. The Asthenosphere is a semi-fluid layer of the Earth's mantle that allows for the movement of the tectonic plates above it. It is hotter and more ductile compared to the rigid Lithosphere.


Which mechanical layer lies below the lithosphere?

The asthenosphere lies below the lithosphere.


The layer of the mantle directly under the lithosphere?

The asthenosphere.


In which layer is the asthenosphere and the lithosphere located?

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.


What is the layer of the earth immediately below the lithosphere?

Asthenosphere.


What is the mechanical layer that lies below the lithosphere?

The mechanical layer that lies below the lithosphere is the asthenosphere. It is a partially molten layer of the Earth's upper mantle that allows the lithospheric plates to move and interact.


What is the layer in Earth's mantle between the lithosphere and upper mantle?

lithosphere


The Moho is found directly above this layer of the lithosphere?

mantle


What mechanical layer lies below the lithosphere?

The mechanical layer below the lithosphere is the asthenosphere. This layer is partially molten and allows the lithosphere to move and float on top of it. The asthenosphere plays a crucial role in plate tectonics by facilitating the movement of tectonic plates.
