Which temperature is inferred to exist within Earths plastic mantle?
2000 celcius
What are three words that describe earths mantle?
It's only soft and plastic in that it is not as hard as the brittle rock of the crust and uppermost mantle.
What is the crust and the upper mantle are called?
The crust and uppermost hard rocky mantle, together, is known as the lithosphere, which is above the plastic-like upper mantle area known as the asthenosphere.
What is the surface on which the lithospheric plates move around earths surface?
Lower mantle is the surface on which the lithospheric plates move around earths surface.
Is lithoshpere a zone in the upper mantle deformed by plastic flowage?
No, the lithosphere is the rigid outer layer of the Earth consisting of the crust and uppermost part of the mantle. It is not deformed by plastic flowage, but rather broken into tectonic plates that can move and interact with each other.
Which temperature is inferred to exist within Earths plastic mantle?

Theory that states that earths crust and upper mantle are broken into sections which move around on a spcial layer of th emantle?
plate tectonics
Earths Litosphere Is Broken Into Separate Sections Called?
Earths lithosphere is made up of upper mantle. The earths lithosphere is broken into separate sections and it is called as tectonic plates or plate tectonics.
Is the asthenosphere a plastic layer of rock in the mantle or is it a layer of earths crust and mantle?
The asthenosphere is a plastic layer of rock located in the upper mantle, below the lithosphere (earth's crust and uppermost mantle). It is responsible for the movement of tectonic plates due to its partially molten and ductile nature.

What is oceanic and continental plates?
These are individual broken slabs of gigantic masses, that makes up the earths crust and are capable of floatational movement over the weak, plastic, hot and highly molten portion of the mantle called the asthenosphere.
What is the theory that states that earths crust and upper mantle move around on a speacial layer of the mantle?
Plate tectonics.
What is the surface on which the lithospheric plates move around earths surface?
Lower mantle is the surface on which the lithospheric plates move around earths surface.
Partially molten, plastic-like, flowing layer located below the solid part of Earths mantle?
Partially molten, plastic like, flowing layer located below the solid part of Earth's mantle is the Asthenosphere. The asthenosphere is mechanically weak and ductiley deforming region of the upper mantle.
What is the upper part of the earths mantle?
The asthenosphere is the upper part of Earth's mantle. It is partially molten (plastic rheology) and mechanically detached from the lithosphere, which is mostly the Earth's crust (but also a little bit of upper mantle). The density of the upper mantle is your mom! (yo mamma!)
What is under the earths surface and in the earths crust?
mantle
