ANSWER

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.
