The asthenosphere is more dense than the lithosphere.

∙ 12y agoSlab Pull Force occurs when a denser oceanic plate is forced beneath a less dense continental plate or oceanic plate in a process called subduction. It's the force caused by suction of the cold dense lithosphere into the asthenosphere at destructive margins. Basically, because lithosphere is denser than asthenosphere, there is gravitational imbalance which is passed on to the crust. this causes the lithosphere to be sucked inwards at the oceanic trenches into deep asthenosphere.
The mantle is the layer where asthenosphere and the lithosphere are located.
The lithosphere and asthenosphere are both entirely part of Earth.
The lithosphere is cold and brittle whereas the asthenosphere is hot and dense.
The layer containing the Lithosphere, Asthenosphere and Mesosphere is the Mantle. The Upper Mantle composes of the Lithosphere while the Lower Mantle composes the Asthenosphere.

Tectonic plates are segments of the lithosphere. They float on top of the asthenosphere.
The large sections of the lithosphere that float on the asthenosphere are called tectonic plates
