The inner part of the upper mantle, often referred to as the asthenosphere, is characterized by its semi-fluid, ductile properties, allowing it to flow slowly over geological timescales. This region is composed of solid rock that can deform under pressure and temperature, facilitating tectonic plate movement. It lies beneath the rigid lithosphere, which includes the Earth's crust and the uppermost part of the mantle. The asthenosphere plays a crucial role in plate tectonics and the dynamics of the Earth's interior.
What else can I help you with?
What part of the mantle is the tectonic plated located?
it is located in the upper mantle.........
What part of the earth is directly below the asthenosphere?
The asthenosphere is the upper part of the upper mantle.
What part of the mantle is the asthenosphere found?
The asthenosphere lies in, and is the upper ductile part of, the mantle. It is the layer directly underneath the lithosphere; the layer composed of the crust and uppermost rigid mantle.
Does the asthenosphere occupies a majority of the mantle?
Yes. The asthenosphere is a part of the upper mantle.
Is the lower part of the mantle called the lithosphere or asthenosphere?
The lower part of the mantle is actually names the mesosphere. It is overlain by the asthenosphere which is part of the upper mantle and this in turn is overlain by the lithosphere which is made up of the very uppermost mantle and the crust.
What is the name of the lower part of mantle and the upper part of mantle?
The lower part of the mantle is called the "lower mantle" or "mesosphere", while the upper part of the mantle is referred to as the "upper mantle" or "asthenosphere".
what word best describes the hot weak inner part of the upper mantle which can flow?
asthenosphere
What are the part of the mantle?
The upper mantle and the lower mantle.
Is the upper mantle part of the lithosphere or asthenosphere?
The The crust and the uppermost layer of the mantle form the lithosphere. The asthenosphere, which is still in the upper mantle, is the next layer down.
Is asthenosphere the lower mantle?
No. The asthenosphere is part of the upper mantle.
What is the upper part of the earths mantle?
The asthenosphere is the upper part of Earth's mantle. It is partially molten (plastic rheology) and mechanically detached from the lithosphere, which is mostly the Earth's crust (but also a little bit of upper mantle). The density of the upper mantle is your mom! (yo mamma!)

In what part of the earth's interior does the temperature rise the fastest?
This is in the mantle or upper mantle.
