What else can I help you with?
Is the asthenosphere part of the earths crust?
No, the asthenosphere is not part of the Earth's crust. It is a layer within the upper mantle, located below the lithosphere. The asthenosphere is a semi-fluid region that allows the lithospheric plates to move.
What are the three parts that make up Earths mantle?
mesosphere, asthenosphere, ionosphere
What is the temperature of the earths asthenosphere in degrees celsius?
The asthenosphere lies just below the lithosphere and composes the upper part of the Earth's mantle. Its temperature is 1300 degrees Celsius.
In which region of the earths interior does the heat increase to the point that rocks begin to melt?
asthenosphere
What is earths plasticlike layer?
The Earth's plastic-like layer is the asthenosphere, which is a semi-fluid layer of the upper mantle. It is composed of partially molten rock that allows tectonic plates to move slowly over it. The asthenosphere plays a key role in the process of plate tectonics.
What is the thickness of earths asthenosphere?
300 km
In which of earths layers do convection currets happen?
asthenosphere
About the asthenosphere?
The asthenosphere has the ability to slow down seismic waves. Is not made up of earths plates that would be the lithosphere.
What layer in earths mantle do the plates slide over?
The asthenosphere.
What color is the earths layer called asthenosphere?
The Earth's asthenosphere is a semi-fluid layer located below the lithosphere. It is composed of solid rock that can flow slowly over time due to high temperatures and pressures. The color of the asthenosphere is not well-defined as it is located beneath the Earth's crust and not visible at the surface.
What is the earths main layers?
asthenosphere outer core inner core and crust
What is the earths middle sphere?
the middle sphere is between the asthenosphere and the outer core!
In which region of the earths interior does the heat increase to the that rocks can begin to melt?
asthenosphere

In which region of the earths interior does the Heat increases to the point that rocks can begin to melt?
asthenosphere
In which region of the earths interior does the heat increase to the point that rocks can begin to melt?
asthenosphere
What part of earths interior is inferred to have convection that cause tectonic plates to move?
the asthenosphere
