Question

Which of the following is the name of the partly melted rock layer on which the plates move? *

Lithosphere
asthenosphere
hydrosphere
outer core

Answer 1

Below the Lithosphere is a zone of consistency like asphalt.

This is known as the Asthenosphere.

This is the part that moves and shifts the plates of the earth.

As known, the earth consists of four layers which also include the crust.

The rocks on the asthenosphere are less dense.

This is the weak layer of the earth.
