What are 5 characteristics of the upper mantle?
its solid and under the asthenosphere
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.
Most deformable layer of the Earth?
Asthenosphere
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.
What color is the asthenosphere?
the asthenosphere is green:D

Is the asthenosphere the mantle?
The asthenosphere is part of the mantle, one of several layers.
What are some characteristics of the asthenosphere?
I'm not sure look in your science book or ask ur teacher or parents

What is the partially melted part of earth that carries the crust?
It is called the asthenosphere.

One hypothesis states that plate movement results from convection currents in thea mantle c lithosphere b asthenosphere d outer core?
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
