Question

Which statement describes a characteristic of the asthenosphere? Temperatures are cool. Consistency is solid. Thickness is less than crust. Pressure is higher than crust.

Answer 1

Asthenosphere refers to the mechanically weak, highly viscous, and ductility deforming segment of the upper mantle of the Earth. It is situated below the lithosphere, at the depths between about 80 and 200 km underneath the surface.

It is characterized by the conditions of higher temperature and pressure, which makes the rock ductile. The crust comprises the rocky surface area, which is made up of silicon, oxygen, aluminum, calcium, iron, potassium, sodium, and magnesium. On the other hand, due to high pressure and temperature in the asthenosphere, the rock appears in a molten state.

Hence, the correct answer is pressure is high than the crust.

Answer 2

Answer:

Here's the short answer so you guys don't have to deal with the long description in the other answer box... Its D. Pressure is higher than the crust

Explanation:

no hate on your long comments peoples just some people literally just want the answer and don't care about the facts bc they're here to pass a test or somethin XD anyways hope I helped
