The asthenosphere is considered to be made up of plastic materials and flows about 15 cm per year. The asthenosphere is the lower mantle.
The lithosphere moves slowly, at a rate of a few centimeters per year. This movement is driven by the slow flow of the underlying mantle in a process called plate tectonics. The movement of lithospheric plates is responsible for natural phenomena like earthquakes and the formation of mountains.
Yes, it is a solid with the uncommon characteristic of plasticity. It is a solid with the ability to flow like a liquid, but the mantle moves slowly. If you could kick it, you would stub your toe.
The part of Earth's outer layer that moves are called tectonic plates. These plates float on the semi-fluid layer of the mantle and interact with each other at plate boundaries, causing geological events like earthquakes and volcanic eruptions.
The aesthenosphere, which is located in the top part of the Earth's mantle is the layer lying underneath the tectonic plates. Collective movement in these plates cause a gradual rise in the aesthenosphere, thereby resulting to land elevation.
mesosphere
The crust moves on a plastic like layer of the mantle.
The crust moves on a plastic like layer of the mantle.
The lithosphere, which includes the crust and uppermost part of the mantle, moves on a plastic-like layer of the mantle called the asthenosphere. This layer is partially molten and allows the lithospheric plates to move slowly over time due to convection currents.
moho barrier?
because the earth moves slowly and at the same speed as us
The stratosphere is a layer of Earth's atmosphere. The stratosphere is the second layer, as one moves upward from Earth's surface, of the atmosphere.
The answer is Lithosphere!!!
soler system
i think this is so because the earth moves slowly. (the earth rotate and revolve at the same time.
The Earth's mantle is a solid layer beneath the crust that moves and flows slowly over the long term, causing tectonic plate movements. This slow movement is due to the high temperatures and pressures within the mantle, which allow the solid rock to deform and flow over time.

A slug moves slowly and so does a snail
