Asthenosphere is located at?
Q. Asthenosphere is located at?
Answer: Below Lithosphere
Notes: The asthenosphere is the layer of the Earth's mantle that is located just below the lithosphere. The asthenosphere is characterized by relatively low density and high temperature, which give it a plastic-like behavior. It is thought to be the source of the magma that drives plate tectonics and the formation of volcanoes. The asthenosphere is located at depths of around 100 to 200 kilometers below the Earth's surface, and is believed to be made up of solid rock that is able to flow and deform over long periods of time. It is an important part of the Earth's interior, and plays a key role in the dynamic processes that shape the planet's surface.
