The plastic-like layer of the Earth's upper mantle directly below the lithosphere is called the asthenosphere.

What is the earth's layer of solid rock that flows under pressure?
The solid layer of the earth that can still flow is called the asthenosphere. This layer is located in the mantle of the earth the layer below the upper crust and lithosphere, home of the tectonic plates.
What in the world is the lithosphere?
The lithosphere is the solid, rocky layer covering the entire surface of the planet, composed of the crust and the hard uppermost mantle, and reacts to stresses as a brittle solid. The lithosphere ranges in thickness from 50 - 200 km and is fragmented into tectonic plates with boundaries where plates collide, diverge, or grind past each other.Lithosphere is the solid part of the Earth.Like land,and crops.The land part of the earth on the crust
What is a lithoshphere?
The lithosphere, Greek for "rocky sphere," is the outermost shell of the Earth. It is a relatively thin layer, 50-100 km thick under the oceans, 150 km thick on the continents. This website.... http://www.wisegeek.com/what-is-the-lithosphere.htm ....includes a heap of information :D
Is lithosphere the layer of gas surrounding the earth?
No, the layer of gas surrounding the earth is called the atmosphere. The lithosphere is composed of the crust and the solid and brittle portion of the upper mantle.
What is the solid plastic layer of the mantle beneath the lithosphere?
The plastic-like layer of the Earth's upper mantle directly below the lithosphere is called the asthenosphere.
What layer of earth contains the tectonics plates?
The layer of the earth that allows the tectonic plates to move around above it is the mantle. The mantle is also known as the hot molten magma layer called the asthenosphere.
