The asthenosphere is a part of the upper mantle of the Earth. It is below the lithosphere and can be over 400 miles thick in areas.

Can living things be found in the asthenosphere?

No, living things cannot be found in the asthenosphere. The asthenosphere is a region of the Earth's mantle that consists of hot, solid rock that is capable of flowing over long periods of time. Conditions in the asthenosphere are too extreme to support life.

What is the partially melted part of earth that carries the crust?

It is called the asthenosphere.


Is the asthenosphere solid or liquid?

The asthenosphere is a semi-fluid layer within the Earth's mantle. It behaves more like a solid over short time scales, but can flow slowly over long periods of time due to high temperatures and pressure.

No. The asthenosphere is plastic in texture.


Which is more viscous the asthenosphere or the mantle?

The asthenosphere is less viscous than the mantle. The asthenosphere is partially molten, allowing it to flow more easily under tectonic plates, while the mantle is solid but capable of flowing over long periods of time due to its high temperature and pressure.
