The is the part of the Earth's interior where rocks start to melt?
The answer is the asthenosphere, the crust is part of the lithosphere, which is part of the outer portion of the earth (the part we live on), the asthenosphere is just below it and the point where rocks begin to melt.
How long is the asthenosphere?
The asthenosphere is a part of the upper mantle of the Earth. It is below the lithosphere and can be over 400 miles thick in areas.
What is the partially melted part of earth that carries the crust?
It is called the asthenosphere.
The asthenosphere is part of which layer of the earth?
The Asthenosphere is part of the Mantle of the Earth
What part of the Earth is in the asthenosphere?
the crust
What layer lies beneath the lithosphere?
The asthenosphere.
What is the athenosphere and what is it located between?
The asthenosphere is part of the upper mantle directly below the lithosphere.

Which part of earth is hot enought to melt rock?
The asthenosphere and all areas below.
How far below the earth's surface is the asthenosphere?
The asthenosphere begins at around 100-150 km depth in the Earth. This is below the lithosphere, which consists of the crust and the uppermost mantle (the plates in plate tectonics).The asthenosphere is in the mantle, but it is still unclear how much of the mantle (which goes down to a depth of ~2900 km) is actually part of the asthenosphere.
What is the partially melted part of earth that carries the crust?
It is called the asthenosphere.
What is the part of the earth where the melted rocks are located beneath the crust?
The mantle. Specifically, the upper mantle, or asthenosphere, is directly below the crust. It is a layer of melted, but still firm and slightly gooey, rock.
The asthenosphere is part of which layer of the earth?
The Asthenosphere is part of the Mantle of the Earth
What is the temperature of the earths asthenosphere in degrees celsius?
The asthenosphere lies just below the lithosphere and composes the upper part of the Earth's mantle. Its temperature is 1300 degrees Celsius.
Is asthenosohere part of the earth?
Yes it is. The Asthenosphere is a region in the upper region of the Earth's mantle. In fact, it is located directly under the crust, or the Lithosphere (land).
