It is thick and does not flow fast, just like honey.

Is lithosphere solid but has the ability to flow?
Yes
What is the plasticity of earth?
While still solid, the asthenosphere is able to flow. The ability of a solid to flow is called plasticity. See "What's the matter?" for an activity to demonstrate plasticity. Since the asthenosphere is more liquid than the rest of the mantle, the broken lithosphere plates are able to "float" on it.
What are the examples of viscous fluid?
honey, Castor oil etc.. paints
Is silver viscous?
silver is a metal and solid at room temp. it has no viscosity since viscosity is the ability to flow. Silver has its own viscosity, ranging from XX,XXX values either dilluted or pure.. it is measured using voscometer
What solid layers can flow?
A glacier is an example of a solid that flows, albeit very slowly.
Is lithosphere solid but has the ability to flow?
Yes
Does The solid rock of the asthenosphere has the ability to flow.?
yes because it is a solid that can move
The ability of solid rock to flow is called?
plasticity
What part of the earth is solid but has the ability to flow?
The Mantle of the Earth.
What state of matter doesn't have the ability to flow?
That refers to a solid.
What is the plasticity of the mantle?
It is the ability of the mantle (solid) to flow like liquid.
Is the asthenospere hot?
The asthenosphere is very hot. This layer is said to have plasticity because it is hot, soft, and can flow.
What would be classified as a fluid. solid. liquid. gas. gas and solid. or liquid and gas?
liquid and gas because they both have an ability to flow
Why is honey a liquid?
Honey is a liquid in its normal state, because it has the characteristics of a liquid. Liquids have a definite volume, but no fixed shape. Honey will flow to conform to the shape of its environment, such as a jar. However, honey can become a solid when it crystalizes. You can return it to liquid form by heating it.
What does viscosity mean for a liquid?
It is the ability of the liquid to flow. The higher the viscosity, the less the ability to flow. For example, oil is more viscous than water; honey is more viscous than oil.
What rock can flow like a liquid?
the rock that can flow like a liquid is a mantle because the mantle has two parts. The upper part is the solid rock. The solid rock of the mantle is part is the lithosphere. Below the solid rock, the mantle rock has the ability to flow like a liquid. Most of the mantle is made up of rock that can flow. Sanjida Ahmed 752/753
How do you find the flow of liquid and viscosity?
resistance of flow such as honey
