The viscosity of the mantle is estimated to be about 10^21 poise (10^19 Pascal seconds).
The asthenosphere is only partially molten with some estimates of around 5 percent.
It is called the asthenosphere.

Yes. That is what the asthenosphere is.
The lithosphere sits on top of the asthenosphere.
The asthenosphere is only partially molten with some estimates of around 5 percent.
The asthenosphere is the part of the Earth's mantle that is taffy-like in consistency. It is a semi-fluid layer located beneath the lithosphere, and its ability to flow slowly allows tectonic plates to move over it.
The layer of the Earth that has a consistency closest to that of taffy is the asthenosphere, which is located in the upper mantle. The asthenosphere is a semi-fluid layer of the Earth's interior where the rock is partially molten and can flow slowly over time. This flow is what allows tectonic plates to move on the Earth's surface.
It is called the asthenosphere.

The asthenosphere is about 1600 degrees Celsius. :)

No. The asthenosphere is plastic in texture.
