The asthenosphere is a region of the Earth's upper mantle located beneath the lithosphere, extending from about 100 to 410 kilometers (62 to 255 miles) below the Earth's surface. It is characterized by its semi-fluid, ductile properties, allowing it to flow slowly over geological timescales. This layer plays a crucial role in plate tectonics, as it facilitates the movement of tectonic plates situated above it. The asthenosphere's behavior is influenced by temperature and pressure, contributing to geological processes such as earthquakes and volcanic activity.
What else can I help you with?
What layer of earth containa 67 percent of your earth mass?
the answer is athenosphere because it has less percent and since mantle has the most then athenosphere should have the 67% of the earths mass
What extends from about 400 kilometers outward for thousands of kilometers?
The Earth's exosphere extends from about 400 kilometers outward for thousands of kilometers. The exosphere is the outermost layer of the Earth's atmosphere where atoms and molecules are so far apart that they can travel long distances without colliding with one another. This region gradually transitions into outer space.
What is the definition of low mass main sequence sun?
the definition is a sun the is colder than usual and has low mass
What the dictionary definition of moon?
a moon
What is the definition for expanding star?
A 'nova'.
What state of matter is reprensented by earths athenosphere?
Athenosphere is an extremely viscous liquid.
Is the athenosphere a solid?
solid
Is the athenosphere solid or liquid?
liquid
Is the lithosphere or athenosphere thinner?
The lithosphere in thinner!!!!! duuaaa...lol it is thinner because it is between the crust and the outer core and the athenosphere is every where!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
What is the athenosphere and where is it located?
In the uppermantle below the lithosphere.
Which layer of earth contains the athenosphere?
crust
How do you spell athenosphere?
The correct spelling is asthenosphere.
What do the plates on the lithosphere float on?
the ductile athenosphere.
What do plates of the lithosphere float on?
the ductile athenosphere.
How thick is athenosphere?
20000 miles thick
What forms the the crust and upper mantle?
The athenosphere
How is lithosphere different from the athenosphere?
It is different because they are not the same
