What sections moves on a plasticlike 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.

What part of earth is solid but stil moves and flows slowly?

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.


Does lithospheric move slowly or fast?

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.
