Why do Earthquakes do not occur in the asthenosphere because this layer of earth is too?

The asthenosphere is too plastic, so it cannot build up stress like the lithosphere can.


How do the asthenophere and the lithosphere interact?

The asthenosphere is a semi-fluid layer beneath the lithosphere. It allows the lithosphere to move and drift over it, which is known as plate tectonics. The movement of the lithosphere on the asthenosphere is responsible for various geologic processes such as earthquakes and volcanoes.


Can living things be found in the asthenosphere?

No, living things cannot be found in the asthenosphere. The asthenosphere is a region of the Earth's mantle that consists of hot, solid rock that is capable of flowing over long periods of time. Conditions in the asthenosphere are too extreme to support life.


What are some interesting facts about asthenosphere?

by low-density, semiplastic (or partially molten) rock material chemically similar to the overlying lithosphere. The upper part of the asthenosphere is believed to be the zone upon which the great rigid and brittle lithospheric plates of the earth's crust move about (see plate tectonics). The asthenosphere is generally located between 45—155 miles (72—250 km) beneath the earth's surface, though under the oceans it is usually much nearer the surface and at mid-ocean ridges rises to within a few miles of the ocean floor. Although its presence was suspected as early as 1926, the worldwide occurrence of the plastic zone was confirmed by analyses of earthquake waves from the Chilean earthquake of May 22, 1960. The seismic waves, the speed of which decreases with the softness of the medium, passed relatively slowly though the asthenosphere, thus it was given the name Low Velocity zone, or the Seismic Wave Guide (see seismology). Deep-zone earthquakes, i.e., those that occur in the asthenosphere or below it, may be caused by crustal plates sinking into the mantle along convergent crustal boundaries.


What elements make up the asthenosphere?

The lithosphere is composed of the oceanic and continental crust, along with the rigid upper mantle. The asthenosphere is the plastic like upper mantle directly below the lithosphere where rock can move, bend, and deform without breaking.

How do you convert gravitational energy to mechanical energy?

when you stay on the ground the mechanical objects stay there too due to gravity.


Will thawing frozen fish in room temperature cause it to go bad?

It could if it sits too long. If it sits just long enough to be thawed, you don't have much risk. It's when it sits after it's no longer cold that the bacteria can start to grow.


What does it mean if a guy is always staring and talking to you and when he sits next to you he sits a little too close?

um..... he's interested in you...... but that seems a bit obsessive, beware of him he likes you... but that is a little creepy


Can you get a low cost mechanical projects?

yes we can get a low cost mechanical projects. If we have a design for it we can make it simple and with too low cost.


What energy does not deal with participles that are too small to see?

Thin out layer of earth that coversits entire surface?

There is a thin layer of ozone that covers entire surface. It is called ozone layer and protect us too.
