The asthenosphere is a ductile solid.
The asthenosphere is a layer of the mantle that consists of slowing flowing solid rock, so I would say it is considered both a liquid and a solid in one.
Solid
No, the asthenosphere is a semi-solid layer of the Earth's mantle that flows slowly over time due to high temperatures and pressure. It is not a cool solid rock.
The solid crust floats on the asthenosphere because it is less dense than the underlying semi-solid asthenosphere. This buoyancy is due to the difference in densities between the materials, with the less dense crust able to "float" on the more dense asthenosphere.
The asthenosphere is a semi-fluid layer within the Earth's mantle. It behaves more like a solid over short time scales, but can flow slowly over long periods of time due to high temperatures and pressure.
The solid plastic layer of the mantle is called the asthenosphere. This region is partially molten and allows for the movement of tectonic plates.
solid
No. The rock of the asthenosphere forms a ductile solid.
a gas
Solid
the inner core
yes because it is a solid that can move

The lithosphere is solid and does not flow, but is carried on top of the asthenosphere.

The solid layer found between the lithosphere and the outer core is called the asthenosphere. It is a semi-plastic layer that allows the lithospheric plates to move over it.
