Yes, magma can be found in the asthenosphere. The asthenosphere is a partially molten layer beneath the lithosphere where magma can be generated due to the high temperatures and pressures. This molten material can rise to the surface through volcanic activity.
Yes. That is what the asthenosphere is.
Yes, magma is indeed molten rock formed in the asthenosphere, which is a layer of the Earth's mantle. Due to the high temperature and pressure in the asthenosphere, rocks can partially melt to form magma. This magma can then rise through the Earth's crust and eventually reach the surface as lava during volcanic eruptions.
The material in the asthenosphere rises when heated because of its reduced density. As it absorbs heat, the material becomes less dense compared to the cooler surrounding rocks. This buoyant force causes the heated material to rise towards the surface.
Increasing pressure pushes the magma upwards. This rising pressure can be caused by many different things.
Because of the asthenosphere.

the Earth's mantle. As temperatures increase with depth, rocks partially melt to form magma. This magma can rise towards the surface through volcanic activity.
the role of asthenosphere in magma generetion
All of the Earth's mantle is hot. And while some geologists believe that there are Mantle plumes (or hot spots) current evidence seems to support a view that mantle plumes do not exist. What causes magma to rise up from the lower crust and mantle is the convection of the mantle and therefore the places where most heat (and magma) is coming up to the surface is along the mid oceanic ridges.
Yes. That is what the asthenosphere is.
Yes. That is what the asthenosphere is.
Convection currents in the magma drive plate tectonics.Heat generated from the radioactive decay of elements deep in the interior of the Earth creates magma (molten rock) in the aesthenosphere.
Yes, magma is indeed molten rock formed in the asthenosphere, which is a layer of the Earth's mantle. Due to the high temperature and pressure in the asthenosphere, rocks can partially melt to form magma. This magma can then rise through the Earth's crust and eventually reach the surface as lava during volcanic eruptions.
No, the asthenosphere is a semi-fluid layer of the Earth's mantle located below the lithosphere. Magma chambers form in the Earth's crust where magma accumulates before rising to the surface as lava during volcanic activity.
Magma could be found occurring in the lithosphere or the asthenosphere, usually originating in the asthenosphere.
The magma is in the mantle, the layer under the crust. There is a convection current caused by radioactivity in the inner core which causes the plates to move. Therefore the constructive plates move apart which means magma can rise up. It'll then solidify and this is what makes volcanoes. Hence CONSTRUCTive.
