What else can I help you with?
Does lithosphere or asthenosphere contain partly melted rock from the upper part of the mantle?
The asthenosphere contains partly melted rock from the upper part of the mantle, while the lithosphere is a rigid layer of the Earth's crust and upper mantle that does not contain melted rock. The asthenosphere's semi-fluid behavior allows tectonic plates to move across it.
The layer of the upper mantle that can flow is the?
asthenosphere
The layer of plastic rock that underlies the tectonic plates is the?
This is known as the asthenosphere.
What color is the asthenosphere?
the asthenosphere is green:D
What is the solid plastic layer of the mantle beneath the lithosphere?
The solid plastic layer of the mantle beneath the lithosphere is called the asthenosphere. It is characterized by its semi-fluid nature, allowing for the movement of tectonic plates over time. The asthenosphere plays a crucial role in the process of plate tectonics.
Is the asthenosphere a true liquid like the outer core?
No. The asthenosphere is thought to contain only around 5% melt.
What is the chemical compound of the asthenosphere?
Astenosphere contain pyroxenes and olivines.

WHAT PART OF MANTLE CONTAINS MOLTEN MATERIAL?
the asthenosphere and the lithosphere contain molten material.
What parts of the mantle contains molten material?
The upper part of the mantle, known as the asthenosphere, contains molten material. This region is partially molten, allowing for the movement of tectonic plates. Deeper parts of the mantle, such as the lower mantle, contain solid rock due to higher pressures and temperatures.
What is the partially melted part of earth that carries the crust?
It is called the asthenosphere.
The layer of the upper mantle that can flow is the?
asthenosphere
Do plate tectonics sit on the asthenosphere?
they sit on the asthenosphere
Is the Earth's asthenosphere rigid?
No. The asthenosphere is plastic in texture.
What make the asthenosphere?
the mantel makes up the asthenosphere
What part of the mantle is part of the lithosphere?
asthenosphere
What is temperature of asthenosphere?
The asthenosphere is about 1600 degrees Celsius. :)
