asthenosphere
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.
The Earth's crust is the thinnest layer, ranging from about 5-70 km thick. The average density of the Earth's crust is around 2.7-3.0 g/cm³.
The thickness of Earth's layers vary depending on the specific layer. For example, the Earth's crust can range from 5-70 km thick, the mantle is about 2,900 km thick, and the outer core is approximately 2,200 km thick. The inner core has a radius of about 1,220 km.
The Earth's atmosphere is about 480 kilometers thick, with the majority of its mass concentrated within the first 11 kilometers (troposphere). The outermost layer, the exosphere, extends beyond 10,000 kilometers.
The Earth's surface layer is called the crust.

The mantle
Anthensophere
The plasticlike layer of Earth is the asthenosphere. It is a zone of the upper mantle where rock is soft and capable of gradual flow. The lithospheric plates float and move on top of the asthenosphere, contributing to the movement of tectonic plates.
the mantle, which contains the lithosphere, asthenosphere and the mesosphere
The mantle is found between the core and the innermost layer of the earth. The mantle is made up of mostly solid rock that is 1,802 miles thick.
