The asthenosphere is a zone of weak material that exists below the lithosphere. The rock within this zone is easily deformed.
The asthenosphere is the region of the upper mantle of the Earth. With a base depth of about 700 kilometers, it is involved in plate tectonic movement and isotactic adjustments, seismic waves pass through slowly and a small percentage of melt.

b. asthenosphere Convection currents in the asthenosphere are believed to be responsible for driving plate movement through the process of mantle convection. This movement of the semi-fluid asthenosphere layer beneath the rigid lithosphere is thought to cause the plates to move over the Earth's surface.
The asthenosphere is a ductile solid.The asthenosphere is a layer of the mantle that consists of slowing flowing solid rock, so I would say it is considered both a liquid and a solid in one.
This is known as the asthenosphere.
The asthenosphere is part of the mantle, one of several layers.
It is called the asthenosphere.

No. The asthenosphere is plastic in texture.
