Lithospheric plates are regions of Earth's crust and upper mantle that are fractured into plates that move across a deeper plasticine mantle. Hopefully this will help :)
The asthenoshere acts like jello and allows the lithosphere, containing the plate, to move. Tectonic plates could not move without the asthenoshere.
The asthenosphere is partially molten and has a lower viscosity compared to the lithosphere above it. This low viscosity allows the lithosphere plates to move and glide over the asthenosphere. The plasticity of the asthenosphere enables convection currents to occur, which in turn can drive the movement of the lithosphere plates.
The mechanical layer that lies below the lithosphere is the asthenosphere. It is a partially molten layer of the Earth's upper mantle that allows the lithospheric plates to move and interact.
The asthenosphere is the region of the Earth that is soft and putty-like, located beneath the lithosphere. The asthenosphere allows for the movement of tectonic plates due to its semi-fluid state, which allows the plates to slide and move over it.

The plates of lithosphere float on top of the semi-fluid asthenosphere, which is located beneath the lithosphere in the Earth's upper mantle. The asthenosphere allows the plates to move and interact with each other due to its partially molten and more ductile nature compared to the lithosphere above it.

They move apart.
The plates that move are called tectonic plates. The lithosphere is made up of these plates, which consist of both the crust and the upper part of the mantle. These plates float on the semi-fluid asthenosphere below, causing them to move and interact with each other at plate boundaries.

It's where the plates of the lithosphere move around on, the plastic like layer of the asthenosphere. the plates move around on these
Actually, the uppermost mantle is part of the lithosphere. The lithosphere consists of the crust and attached uppermost rigid mantle.
