Do plate tectonics sit on the asthenosphere?
they sit on the asthenosphere
What makes up the asthenosphere?
the mantel makes up the asthenosphere
What causes the convection currents in the asthenosphere?
The convection currents running through the asthenosphere are widely believed to be the source of movement of the tectonic plates.
Which layer of the earth is facilitating the movement of the plates?
The Asthenosphere.
How are the asthenosphere and lithosphere involed with plate tectonics?
The lithosphere is the brittle surface layer composed of the crust and uppermost mantle. The asthenosphere is the ductile upper mantle on which the lithosphere is able to move.
What are the differences between the lithosphere and the asthenosphere?
The lithosphere is cold and brittle whereas the asthenosphere is hot and dense.
Why is the asthenosphere not capable of storing elastic energy?
astic energy can only be stored in cold, brittle rocks.
Most deformable layer of the Earth?
Asthenosphere
What is the partially melted part of earth that carries the crust?
It is called the asthenosphere.
What color is the asthenosphere?
the asthenosphere is green:D
Is the Earth's asthenosphere rigid?
No. The asthenosphere is plastic in texture.
What make the asthenosphere?
the mantel makes up the asthenosphere
What part of the mantle is part of the lithosphere?
asthenosphere
Do plate tectonics sit on the asthenosphere?
they sit on the asthenosphere
What is temperature of asthenosphere?
The asthenosphere is about 1600 degrees Celsius. :)
What is the temperature of asthenosphere?
The asthenosphere is about 1600 degrees Celsius. :)
What type of layer is the Asthenosphere?
The Asthenosphere is a layer of the upper mantle.
