The asthenosphere is known to be for its weak layer in the upper mantle. The asthenosphere is made of solid rock, when given heat and pressure, the rocks flow like a liquid. The thickness of asthenosphere depends on the temperature. The name asthenosphere is taken from Greek which means weak sphere.
