The crust slides around on this layer. (Continental+Oceanic drift) It helps the theory of tectonic plates because continental drift is where the continents were one big island call Pangaea but we slid apart.
It is the movement of ductile rock in the asthenosphere caused by convection currents that creates movement of the lithospheric plates. It is the conveyor belt on which the plates move.
because when they come out it going to be rain
the lithospheric plates slide on it
Plates of the lithosphere do not float on the core. They float on the asthenosphere (plastic mantle). Due to convection currents and the earths rotation, plates glide over the asthenosphere. This theory is the theory of Plate Tectonics.

The Lithosphere, which is made up of the entire crust and the upper mantle. This Lithosphere floats on the weak/molten lowwer mantle, called the Asthenosphere.
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.
they sit on the asthenosphere
the branch of geology for plate tectonics is asthenosphere.
The asthenosphere is a section of the upper mantle that enables plate tectonics.
The asthenosphere.
A theory that says the lithosphere is divided into plates that move around on top of the asthenosphere is called '' plate tectonics''
It is plate tectonics.
