If the asthenosphere cooled and stopped flowing how would you expect the movement of tectonic plates in the lithosphere to change?
The "continental drift" part of lithospheric plate tectonics would end. The lithospheric plates move around by one of two mechanisms: 1) they are conveyed (through friction) by movement of the underlying asthenosphere (this is a passive view of the lithosphere, in which mantle convection controls tectonic plate drift); and/or 2) they move around to fill in spaces created when dense lithosphere sinks (subducts) into the mantle (see ridge-push/slab-pull model). Geologists are still discussing the relative importance of each of these two mechanisms in driving plate tectonics. If the asthenosphere stopped flowing then mechanism 1 would end, as there'd be no movement to convey the lithosphere. For mechanism 2, if the asthenosphere stopped flowing, then it wouldn't be able to get out of the way to permit the dense parts of the lithosphere to subduct. When the asthenosphere ceases to flow, then heat from earth's interior would only escape through conduction, which is a less efficient process than convection. The heat would likely build until huge pools of magma (molten rock) develop and burn their way up through the asthenosphere and lithosphere, creating enormous volcanoes.
What is the depth pressure and temperature where the plastic mantle meets the stiffer mantle?
The boundary between the plastic (asthenosphere) and the stiffer mantle (lithosphere) is typically found at depths of about 100 to 700 kilometers beneath the Earth's surface. At this depth, the pressure can range from approximately 3 to 25 gigapascals, and temperatures can vary between 1,300 to 3,000 degrees Celsius. This transition zone marks a significant change in the physical properties of the mantle materials.
How does the lithosphere which is broken into plates change the surface of the earth?
The lithosphere is divided into tectonic plates that float on the semi-fluid asthenosphere beneath. As these plates move due to convection currents in the mantle, they interact at their boundaries, leading to geological processes such as earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, and mountain building. This movement reshapes the Earth's surface over time, creating new landforms and altering existing ones. Consequently, the dynamic nature of the lithosphere plays a crucial role in the planet's geological evolution.

The movement of these can reshape the earth?
The Earth's crust, known as the lithosphere, is broken into segments known as plates. The movement of the plates over the asthenosphere causes the plates to change position altering Earth's surface.
If the asthenosphere cooled and stopped flowing how would you expect the movement of tectonic plates in the lithosphere to change Tectonic plates would?
If the asthenosphere stopped flowing due to cooling, tectonic plate movement in the lithosphere would likely slow down or even halt. The asthenosphere's convection currents drive the movement of tectonic plates by dragging them along as they flow. Without this driving force, the movement of tectonic plates would be significantly impacted, leading to reduced or stagnant plate motion.

How does the temperature change as you go from the surface toward the center of earths?
in the lithosphere it will be cool and it will be a little cooler in the asthenosphere due to the lack of sunlight.then it will get warmer as you go deeper in the mesosphere.because your getting nearer to the outer core of molten.then as when your in the core ,you'll burnt really badly. the pressurein the mesosphere is enought to where yu have nose bleeds ,bad headaches and shortness of breath and you might faint as you go deeper.but if your right in the middle you'll be shrunk to the size of a pea.
