The asthenosphere is a semi-fluid layer of the Earth's mantle located beneath the lithosphere, approximately 100 to 700 kilometers deep. It plays a crucial role in tectonic plate movement due to its ductile properties, allowing it to flow slowly over geological timescales. An example of the asthenosphere can be observed beneath mid-ocean ridges, where it facilitates the upwelling of magma that creates new oceanic crust.
What else can I help you with?
What is the partially melted part of earth that carries the crust?
It is called the asthenosphere.
What part of the mantle is part of the lithosphere?
asthenosphere
Is the asthenosphere the mantle?
The asthenosphere is part of the mantle, one of several layers.
Is The asthenosphere is a region in the earth where magma chambers form?
Yes. That is what the asthenosphere is.
What mechanical layer sits on of the asthenosphere?
The lithosphere sits on top of the asthenosphere.
What is a non example of a asthenosphere?
atmosphere
What is the partially melted part of earth that carries the crust?
It is called the asthenosphere.
What are structures on earth that move on the asthenosphere?
One example of a structure on Earth that moves on the asthenosphere is a tectonic plate. These plates are huge sections of Earth's lithosphere that float and move on the semi-fluid asthenosphere. The movement of these plates is responsible for phenomena such as earthquakes, volcanic activity, and the formation of mountains.
The layer of the upper mantle that can flow is the?
asthenosphere
Do plate tectonics sit on the asthenosphere?
they sit on the asthenosphere
Is the Earth's asthenosphere rigid?
No. The asthenosphere is plastic in texture.
What make the asthenosphere?
the mantel makes up the asthenosphere
What part of the mantle is part of the lithosphere?
asthenosphere
What is temperature of asthenosphere?
The asthenosphere is about 1600 degrees Celsius. :)
What is the temperature of asthenosphere?
The asthenosphere is about 1600 degrees Celsius. :)
What makes up the asthenosphere?
the mantel makes up the asthenosphere
Is asthenosphere the lower mantle?
No. The asthenosphere is part of the upper mantle.
