Scientists speculate that the movement of tectonic plates is created by the movement of the rigid lithosphere on the asthenosphere.
It is called the asthenosphere.
asthenosphere
Yes. That is what the asthenosphere is.
The lithosphere sits on top of the asthenosphere.
The asthenosphere is part of the mantle, one of several layers.

b. asthenosphere Convection currents in the asthenosphere are believed to be responsible for driving plate movement through the process of mantle convection. This movement of the semi-fluid asthenosphere layer beneath the rigid lithosphere is thought to cause the plates to move over the Earth's surface.

they sit on the asthenosphere
No. The asthenosphere is plastic in texture.

The asthenosphere is about 1600 degrees Celsius. :)
