Detailed explanation-1: -The asthenosphere is the denser, weaker layer beneath the lithospheric mantle. It lies between about 100 kilometers (62 miles) and 410 kilometers (255 miles) beneath Earth’s surface. The temperature and pressure of the asthenosphere are so high that rocks soften and partly melt, becoming semi-molten.
Detailed explanation-2: -Below the crust lies a layer of very hot, almost solid rock called the mantle.
Detailed explanation-3: -mantle (in geology) The thick layer of the Earth beneath its outer crust. The mantle is semi-solid and generally divided into an upper and lower mantle.
Detailed explanation-4: -The crust is made of solid rocks and minerals. Beneath the crust is the mantle, which is also mostly solid rocks and minerals, but punctuated by malleable areas of semi-solid magma. At the center of the Earth is a hot, dense metal core.
Detailed explanation-5: -Asthenosphere is semi-solid or ‘plastic’ and is 700 km thick. 2. Uppermost part of the mantle is solid and 100 km thick.
