What is the importance of asthenosphere?

Answer 1

It's important because the plates move in it. It;s basically really really really hot tar that moves the continentss through 3 different forces. Since, I'm only answering this question, look up the 3 movements of tectonic plates for more info :) thnx!

Answer 2

The asthenosphere is important because it is a semi-fluid layer beneath Earth's lithosphere that allows tectonic plates to move. Its low viscosity allows for the movement of the plates, which is crucial for processes like plate tectonics, volcanic activity, and mountain building.
