What else can I help you with?
What layer of the mantle is most plastic or bendable?
Heat transfer by the movement of a heated fluid is called _________?
What part of the mantle is made of soft rock that bends like plastic.?
A portion of the upper mantle known as the asthenosphere.
Why do Earthquakes do not occur in the asthenosphere because this layer of earth is too?
The asthenosphere is too plastic, so it cannot build up stress like the lithosphere can.
What is the plastic like layer made of soild rock that flows slowly?
asthenosphere
Why is the asthenosphere able to flow like plastic?
The asthenosphere can flow like a plastic because it is composed of partially melted rock that has a high temperature and pressure. This partial melting allows the rock to deform and flow slowly over long periods of time, similar to how plastic can be molded and shaped under the right conditions.
Is the Earth's asthenosphere rigid?
No. The asthenosphere is plastic in texture.
The layer of plastic rock that underlies the tectonic plates is the?
This is known as the asthenosphere.
What deforms by plastic flow?
asthenosphere
What is the solid plastic layer of the mantle beneath the lithosphere?
The solid plastic layer of the mantle beneath the lithosphere is called the asthenosphere. It is characterized by its semi-fluid nature, allowing for the movement of tectonic plates over time. The asthenosphere plays a crucial role in the process of plate tectonics.
What is the solid plastic layer of the mantle called?
The solid plastic layer of the mantle is called the asthenosphere. This region is partially molten and allows for the movement of tectonic plates.
What layer of the mantle is most plastic or bendable?
Heat transfer by the movement of a heated fluid is called _________?
What is the plastic like layer of the earth below the the lithosphere?
The asthenosphere.
What is a plastic like layer of earth below the the lithosphere?
The asthenosphere.
What happens in asthenosphere?
It's where the plates of the lithosphere move around on, the plastic like layer of the asthenosphere. the plates move around on these
What part of the mantle is made of soft rock that bends like plastic.?
A portion of the upper mantle known as the asthenosphere.
What is the solid plastic layer of the mantle?
The solid plastic layer of the mantle is called the asthenosphere. It is a semi-fluid layer below the lithosphere that allows the tectonic plates to move over it. The asthenosphere is responsible for the movement of the Earth's crustal plates.
What is the solid plastic layer of earth on which tectonic plates move?
The asthenosphere.
