The asthenosphere.
Earth's thick plastic-like layer is the mantle. The mantle is a dense, semi-solid layer of the Earth's interior that lies beneath the crust and extends down to the outer core. It is composed of solid rock that can flow slowly over long periods of time.
The Earth's surface layer is called the crust.

The first layer of the Earth's atmosphere is called the troposphere, and it is in direct contact with the Earth's surface. This layer is where weather events occur and where most of the Earth's clouds and precipitation are found. Temperature usually decreases with altitude in the troposphere.

The plasticlike layer of Earth is the asthenosphere. It is a zone of the upper mantle where rock is soft and capable of gradual flow. The lithospheric plates float and move on top of the asthenosphere, contributing to the movement of tectonic plates.
The layer 100km below the surface is known as the asthenosphere. It is a semi-fluid layer within the upper mantle of the Earth where rock is ductile and able to flow slowly over time.
