The asthenosphere, moves with convection
The elevated temperature and the application of loads that are a significant fraction of the failure strength of the material forming the asthenosphere lead to creep (or plastic) behaviour.
The relatively soft layer of the upper mantle is called the asthenosphere
Heat transfer by the movement of a heated fluid is called _________?
A portion of the upper mantle known as the asthenosphere.
Asthenosphere
No. The asthenosphere is plastic in texture.
The plastic-like layer of the Earth's upper mantle directly below the lithosphere is called the asthenosphere.
asthenosphere
Yes the asthenosphere is soft and can bend like plastic.
asthenosphere
The asthenosphere.
asthenosphere
The asthenosphere, moves with convection
The asthenosphere is considered to be made up of plastic materials and flows about 15 cm per year. The asthenosphere is the lower mantle.
