The asthenosphere (from Greek asthenēs 'weak' + sphere) is the mechanically weak ductily-deforming region of the upper mantle of the Earth. It lies below the lithosphere, at depths between 100 and 200 km (~ 62 and 124 miles) below the surface, but perhaps extending as deep as 400 km (~ 249 miles).

Mesosphere, aka, mantle, is the interior of the Earth, similar to the other terrestrial planets, is chemically divided into layers. The mantle is a highly viscous layer between the crust and the outer core.

What is the mesosphere made up?

The mesosphere is made up of plenty of things. It is underneath the asthenosphere and the lower part of the mantle. The mesosphere extends from the bottom of the asthenosphere to the earth's core. give me a piture. The mesosphere also means middle.


What layer contains the lithosphere asthenosphere and mesosphere?

The lithosphere, asthenosphere, and mesosphere are all located within the Earth's upper mantle, which is part of the mantle layer. The lithosphere is the rigid outermost layer of the Earth, including the crust and uppermost mantle. The asthenosphere is a partially molten layer below the lithosphere, while the mesosphere is a solid layer beneath the asthenosphere.


What is the Mesosphere in the mantel?

What is the order of the layers of the earth?

The crust, then the lithosphere, then the asthenosphere, mesosphere, outer core, inner core. The mantle is the lithosphere, asthenosphere, and the mesosphere. So the mantle isn't really the middle of the earth.


The strong lower part of the mantle between the asthenosphere and the outer core?

The lower part of the mantle is called the mesosphere.


Is the outer core the densest out of lithosphere asthenosphere mesosphere and inner core?

How is the asthenosphere different from the mesosphere?

The asthenosphere is a layer in the upper mantle that is partially molten and is responsible for the movement of tectonic plates. The mesosphere is a layer in the Earth's atmosphere above the stratosphere and below the thermosphere where temperatures drop with increasing altitude. The two layers are located in different parts of the Earth - the asthenosphere is within the Earth while the mesosphere is part of the Earth's atmosphere.


What are earth's physical layers in sequence?

What is between the asthenosphere and the outer core!?

the Mesosphere


What contains the lower mantle?

The mantle extends to the core-mantle interface at approximately 2900 km depth. Thus, the mantle contains the lower portion of the lithosphere, the asthenosphere, and the mesosphere. The crust is made of the upper portion of the lithosphere.
