They are viscoelastic materials
Yes, rheology is a real study. Rheology does have jobs available where people who are interested in rheology can practice rheology. The society of rheology has a website where all of the information is available.
Journal of Rheology was created in 1929.
rheology is the study of nature of rocks and the fluid found in the rocks with thier flow chracteristics
Rheology (the study of the flow of matter) has applications in engineering, biology, geophysics, pharmacology, and food production.

Rheology is the study of how things respond, or flow, from a liquid state when force is applied. An example is ketchup and how it moves when force is applied to the bottle to move the liquid ketchup along and out of the bottle.
Rheology is most useful for studying the flow and deformation of materials, such as fluids, polymers, and soft solids. It helps to understand the behavior of these materials under different conditions, which is crucial for various industries like food processing, cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, and materials science. Rheology provides valuable insights into the mechanical properties and performance of materials.
The difference is in the rheology of the rocks, or, how they react under pressure. The lithosphere exhibits brittle rheology which means it will break or crack while the asthenosphere exhibits ductile rheology meaning it will deform or "flow in the solid state" not unlike silly putty. The lithosphere includes the crust and the upper part of the mantle and is approximately the upper 100km of the Earth.
