Yes, the lithosphere is the rigid outer layer of the Earth that consists of the crust and the upper part of the mantle. It is broken into tectonic plates that float on the semi-fluid asthenosphere below.
Partially molten, plastic like, flowing layer located below the solid part of Earth's mantle is the Asthenosphere. The asthenosphere is mechanically weak and ductiley deforming region of the upper mantle.
The soft, weak layer of the mantle is called the asthenosphere. It lies beneath the lithosphere and is composed of partially molten rock, allowing for the movement of tectonic plates. The asthenosphere plays a crucial role in geological processes, including plate tectonics and volcanic activity.
The hot, weak part of the upper mantle is known as the asthenosphere. This region lies beneath the lithosphere and is characterized by partially molten rock that allows for slow, convective movement. The increased temperature and pressure in the asthenosphere reduce its viscosity, enabling the tectonic plates of the lithosphere to move over it. This dynamic behavior plays a crucial role in plate tectonics and geological processes.
The layer of the Earth between the crust and the core that is partially liquid and partially solid is the mantle. The upper mantle is solid rock, while the lower mantle is semi-fluid due to high temperatures and pressure.
Yes, the aesthenosphere is the part of the upper mantle that is highly viscous and mechanically weak behaving as a ductile solid.
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".

Partially molten, plastic like, flowing layer located below the solid part of Earth's mantle is the Asthenosphere. The asthenosphere is mechanically weak and ductiley deforming region of the upper mantle.
It forms volcanoes and sometimes islands like Hawaii.
It is the inner core.
