Lithos/Aesthenosphere

Cards (2)

Lithosphere
Consisting of the crust and upper part of the mantle. This is solid and brittle.
Aesthenosphere
Consisting of the upper portion of the mantle just below the lithosphere.
This is solid but will flow and is where the convection currents driving plate tentonics operate.
