The asthenosphere, a semi-fluid layer of the Earth's mantle located beneath the lithosphere, permits the movement of tectonic plates. Its ductile nature allows these plates to slide over it, facilitating processes such as continental drift, earthquakes, and volcanic activity. This mobility is crucial for the dynamic nature of the Earth's surface and the recycling of materials within the mantle.
It is called the asthenosphere.

The asthenosphere is part of the mantle, one of several layers.
Yes. That is what the asthenosphere is.
The lithosphere sits on top of the asthenosphere.

No. The asthenosphere is plastic in texture.

The Asthenosphere is a layer of the upper mantle.
No. The asthenosphere is part of the upper mantle.
The asthenosphere is located in the upper mantle. The asthenosphere is below the lithosphere, the brittle outer shell of the Earth.
