Plastic Rock is a rock that behaves something between a liquid and a solid, due to the amount of water in between the molecules.
Water in between the molecules of the rock, makes it a somewhat liquid. When any pressure or push on the rock makes the water leave from the molecules, and makes it harder for the molecules to behave like a liquid, so, the rock becomes a solid.

the plasic like rock of the lower mantle is the asthenosphere
A rock that deforms like molded clay is called a plastic rock. These rocks can be easily reshaped due to the internal flow of their minerals. Examples of plastic rocks include shale, claystone, and serpentinite.
This is known as the asthenosphere.
The asthenosphere is not a type of rock, but rather a layer in the Earth's mantle. It consists of partially melted rock that behaves as a plastic-like material, allowing tectonic plates to move on top of it.
The rock in the lithosphere is solid because it is under high pressure and low temperature, which keeps it in a solid state. The rock in the mantle acts more like plastic due to the high temperature and pressure, making it capable of slowly flowing and deforming over long periods of time. This difference in behavior is primarily due to the varying conditions of temperature and pressure between the lithosphere and mantle.

This is a trick question, the size of the rock and the plastic cup varies. Normally, however the rock is commonly the one with more mass.
Plastic rock is a type of soft sedimentary rock that has properties similar to plastic when it's warm. It can deform and flow slowly under pressure or stress due to its high clay content. The movement of plastic rock can be caused by factors such as tectonic forces, gravity, or changes in temperature and pressure.
Yes, plastic deformation occurs more readily in warm rock than in cool rock because warm rock has lower strength and is more ductile. The higher temperatures allow for easier movement of atoms within the crystal lattice, promoting plastic deformation. Conversely, cool rock is stronger and more brittle, making plastic deformation less likely.

you can eat it or you can but it in a plastic
Plastic-like rock is found in the asthenosphere, the layer of Earth directly beneath the crust and uppermost mantle. Though consisting of hard rock, the high temperatures and inclusion of a small amount of molten material allows the rock to behave in a plastic-like manner; that is, it can be moved and bent without breaking.

No because if you put hot water in a plastic container, it'll melt
