It is the asthenosphere. Because the lithosphere is a part of the crust and mantle. So that makes the asthenosphere underneath it because it is hard rock...

What layer of the earth forms the earths plates?
Tectonic plates are floating on the magma (semi-molten rocks) of the mantle layer. Therefore, they form the crust layer of the Earth.
What is the partially molten layer of earth called?
The asthenosphere.
Which layer makes up the majority of earths interior?
The mantle is the largest layer in the Earth's interior.
What layer of the earth contains molten iron and nickel?
Its Is the mantle
What is mantle made out of?
The mantel made of partially molten rock which is commonly known as magma. The top layer of the mantle is usually hard.
Partially molten, plastic-like, flowing layer located below the solid part of Earths mantle?
Partially molten, plastic like, flowing layer located below the solid part of Earth's mantle is the Asthenosphere. The asthenosphere is mechanically weak and ductiley deforming region of the upper mantle.
What is the partially molten layer of the mantle called?
The relatively soft layer of the upper mantle is called the asthenosphere
What layer of earth is made up of hot molten rocks?
The outer core is the only molten layer of the Earth. == ==
Which layer of earth is the source of molten rock called magma that sometimes rises to earths surface?
the mantle
What is a layer of the Earth that contains partially molten rock and very high temperatures?
The asthenosphere, part of the upper mantle.
What is mantel made of?
The mantel made of partially molten rock which is commonly known as magma. The top layer of the mantle is usually hard.
Earths middle layer?
the mantle
What layer of the earth forms the earths plates?
Tectonic plates are floating on the magma (semi-molten rocks) of the mantle layer. Therefore, they form the crust layer of the Earth.
The earths middle layer?
Mantle.
Is the asthenosphere the partially molten layer of earths core?
The asthenosphere is partially molten; however, it is an interior layer which is separate from the Earth's inner and outer core. In fact, the asthenosphere is located directly under the lithosphere (the brittle outer shell of Earth), extending only a few hundred miles down from the surface.
What is the partially molten layer of earth called?
The asthenosphere.
What layer of earth is hot rock?
The mantle is the hot rock.
