Answer:

D. Asthenosphere

Explanation:

The asthenosphere is relatively plastic part of the mantle which underlies the brittle lithosphere. In the asthenosphere, it is generally believed that the rocks are in ductile state and easily moves. It is the site of convection within the earth. In mantle convection, hot and light materials rises and keeps moving into upper crustal levels till they solidify. Here also, cold and denser materials sinks deeper till they turn to melt. This differences in temperature and density sets up a convective cell within the mantle. Several convective cells are in the mantle.

Paha777 [63]
<span>An object roating at one revokution per second has an angular velocity of 360 degrees per second or 2pi radians per second. This is found by taking the number of revolutions over a period of time and than dividing by the chosen period of time to get the velocity. There are 360 degrees or 2pi radians in one revolution.</span>
