The asthenosphere.
The asthenosphere is a region of Earth's upper mantle that is partially molten and flows slowly, allowing tectonic plates to move. It is located beneath the lithosphere and extends to a depth of about 200 kilometers below the surface.
The lithosphere lies above the asthenosphere. The asthenosphere is where isostatic adjustments take place and it is a very ductile region. Seismic waves pass slower through this region of the earth than they do through the overlying lithosphere.
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).
Asthenosphere is directly before the lithosphere.

lithosphere
The zone below the lithosphere is called the asthenosphere. It is a semi-solid layer of the Earth's mantle where the rock is partially molten, allowing for tectonic plate movement. The asthenosphere is located between 100 to 200 kilometers beneath the Earth's surface.
