The asthenosphere is part of the upper mantle and is semi-fluid.
- True
- False
Answer: True
The asthenosphere is the upper part of the mantle, below the lithosphere, and is semi-fluid (plastic) due to high temperature and pressure. This allows tectonic plates to move over it. The asthenosphere extends from about 100-410 km depth.
