Compare Eath's lithosphere to its asthenosphere. The earth's lithosphere is relatively ________________, whereas, the asthenosph
ere is relatively __________________. cold and plastic-like; hot and rigid-like hot and plastic-like; cold and rigid-like hot and rigid-like; cold and plastic-like cold and rigid-like; hot and plastic-like
Answer:The Earth's lithosphere is relatively hard rigid-like whereas, the asthenosphere is relatively hot and plastic-like
Explanation: The surface of the lithosphere has the rocks which can bent but does not flow , that is having rigid nature whereas the asthenosphere has comparatively have a flow in nature and are considered as plastic-natured .The lithosphere is segmented into rigid plates that are present on top of the flowing asthenosphere.
It is stated that the hard rocks don not flow while the flow can be seen in the plastic -like rocks.
