the mantel makes up the asthenosphere
The continents of the Earth are sliding through the asthenosphere. This is the viscous part of the mantle on which the plates of the lithosphere sit.
they sit on the asthenosphere
The mesosphere is made up of plenty of things. It is underneath the asthenosphere and the lower part of the mantle. The mesosphere extends from the bottom of the asthenosphere to the earth's core. give me a piture. The mesosphere also means middle.
The convection currents running through the asthenosphere are widely believed to be the source of movement of the tectonic plates.
The Asthenosphere.

the mantel makes up the asthenosphere
The middle and lower mantle makes up the asthenosphere.
asthenosphere
It is the asthenosphere. Because the lithosphere is a part of the crust and mantle. So that makes the asthenosphere underneath it because it is hard rock...
The asthenosphere lies in, and is the upper ductile part of, the mantle. It is the layer directly underneath the lithosphere; the layer composed of the crust and uppermost rigid mantle.
Because of the asthenosphere.
mesosphere, asthenosphere, ionosphere
The continents of the Earth are sliding through the asthenosphere. This is the viscous part of the mantle on which the plates of the lithosphere sit.
The differences and similarities between lithosphere and asthenosphere are as follows. Lithoshphere is made up of rigid rocks flowing above asthenosphere. Asthenosphere has rocks that are more plastic like because they can flow even tho they are still solid rock. The top part of asthenosphere is the same as the lower part of lithosphere, if the top part of asthenosphere cools it then becomes part of lithosphere. Lithosphere and asthenosphere are both made up of the upper part of the mantle on Earth but Lithosphere is also made up of the crust.
The asthenosphere has the ability to slow down seismic waves. Is not made up of earths plates that would be the lithosphere.
The lithosphere over lies the asthenosphere and is broken up into discrete sections known as tectonic plates which move.
