The lower boundary of the asthenosphere is not well defined. It lies below the lithosphere and above the lower mantle and outer core. It usually lies at depths of 80-200 km but can range as deep as 700 km.

What are the large sections of lithosphere that float on the asthenosphere?
The large sections of the lithosphere that float on the asthenosphere are called tectonic plates
What does the plates of lithosphere float on top of?
The Asthenosphere. The Asthenosphere is a part of the Mantle.
Plates of the lithosphere float on the?
asthenosphere
Plates of the lithosphere float on the what?
asthenosphere
What is the zone from the base of the asthenosphere to the boundary of the mantle and core?
The mesosphere is the zone from the base of the asthenosphere to the boundary of the earth's mantle and core.
What are the structural zone of earth?
Lithosphere, Asthenosphere, Mesosphere, outer core, inner core

What do continental plates float on?
The asthenosphere.
What is the zone from the base of the asthenosphere to the boundary of the mantle and core?
The mesosphere is the zone from the base of the asthenosphere to the boundary of the earth's mantle and core.
Tectonic plates float on what?
The tectonic plates float on the lithosphere. This overlies the asthenosphere.
Is asthenosphere a plate boundary?
No. The asthenosphere is a ductile layer of the mantle that tectonic plates float on top of.
What is one of the characteristics of the asthenosphere?
The asthenosphere is a zone of weak material that exists below the lithosphere. The rock within this zone is easily deformed.
What are the tectonic plates float on?
The continental plates float on asthenosphere, molten rock (lava).
