asthenosphere
The asthenosphere is part of the mantle, one of several layers.
Yes. The asthenosphere is a part of the upper mantle.
The asthenosphere is part of the upper mantle layer of the Earth, lying just beneath the lithosphere. It is a semi-fluid layer that allows the tectonic plates to move on top of it.
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.
No. The asthenosphere is part of the upper mantle.

Upper Mantle

The asthenosphere is the upper part of the upper mantle.
The asthenosphere is a semi-fluid layer in the upper mantle that allows tectonic plates to move over it. It facilitates the movement of the lithospheric plates by convective currents, aiding in the process of plate tectonics.
The lower part of the mantle is called the mesosphere.
