Is the asthenosphere part of the earths crust?

No, the asthenosphere is not part of the Earth's crust. It is a layer within the upper mantle, located below the lithosphere. The asthenosphere is a semi-fluid region that allows the lithospheric plates to move.


Are tectonic plates part of the asthenosphere or the lithosphere?

Tectonic plates are segments of the lithosphere. They float on top of the asthenosphere.


How are the lithoshphere and asthenosphere similar and how are they different?

The differences and similarities between lithosphere and asthenosphere are as follows. Lithoshphere is made up of rigid rocks flowing above asthenosphere. Asthenosphere has rocks that are more plastic like because they can flow even tho they are still solid rock. The top part of asthenosphere is the same as the lower part of lithosphere, if the top part of asthenosphere cools it then becomes part of lithosphere. Lithosphere and asthenosphere are both made up of the upper part of the mantle on Earth but Lithosphere is also made up of the crust.


How are the lithosphere and asthenosphere similar?

Both the lithosphere and asthenosphere are parts of Earth's uppermost layer, known as the Earth's crust. The lithosphere is the rigid outer layer made up of the crust and a part of the upper mantle, while the asthenosphere is a semi-fluid layer beneath the lithosphere. They are both involved in the movement of Earth's tectonic plates.

What part of earth contains plates?

The lithosphere is the part of the Earth that contains tectonic plates. These plates are divided pieces of the lithosphere that float on the semi-fluid asthenosphere beneath them.
