Characteristics of the asthenosphere?
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.
The layer of the upper mantle that can flow is the?
asthenosphere
One hypothesis states that plate movement results from convection currents in thea mantle c lithosphere b asthenosphere d outer core?
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.
Is the asthenosphere solid?
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.
The layer of plastic rock that underlies the tectonic plates is the?
This is known as the asthenosphere.
Is the asthenosphere the mantle?
The asthenosphere is part of the mantle, one of several layers.
What is the partially melted part of earth that carries the crust?
It is called the asthenosphere.

What part of the mantle is part of the lithosphere?
asthenosphere
What is the temperature of asthenosphere?
The asthenosphere is about 1600 degrees Celsius. :)
What is temperature of asthenosphere?
The asthenosphere is about 1600 degrees Celsius. :)
Do plate tectonics sit on the asthenosphere?
they sit on the asthenosphere
What make the asthenosphere?
the mantel makes up the asthenosphere
Is the Earth's asthenosphere rigid?
No. The asthenosphere is plastic in texture.

What makes up the asthenosphere?
the mantel makes up the asthenosphere
