It permits plate motion

Further Explanation:

<u>The asthenosphere is highly viscous and the part of the upper mantle of the earth just below the lithosphere and asthenosphere is a mechanically weak and soft region that is present on the upper layer of the Earth. </u>Asthenosphere lies just below the lithosphere and its depth is approximately 80 and 200 kilometers below the surface. It is solid in nature but some of its regions are molten in nature.  

The temperature is the asthenosphere depends on its thickness and its rheology is dependent on the rate of deformation and that means that the asthenosphere could also be formed because of the result of a high rate of deformation. <u>In some regions of the earth, the asthenosphere could extend as deep as 700 km and it is considered as the source region of the mid-ocean ridge basalt.</u>

Serga [27]
<span>The correct answer is (D), sheep. Didgeridoos and boomerangs are artifacts invented by humans in Australia. Koalas evolved in Australia, and to this day are only found in the wild in Australia. In contrast, sheep were first domesticated in ancient Mesopotamia and then brought by humans to other parts of the world. The first sheep were brought to Australia by ship, from the Cape of Good Hope in 1788.</span>

g homo habilis is the first species of the genus homo. it is [ select ] similar to other homo species, like homo erectus, than t
Natali5045456 [20]

Sahelanthropus, Orrorin, Ardipithecus, Australopithecus, and Paranthropus are just a few of the genera that exhibit postcranial transformation and canine reduction throughout the first four million years or so of hominid evolution. There is a concurrent change in the hominid fossil record as the Pliocene epoch came to an end and the world climate was changing about 2.5 million years ago. Something novel arose in this setting, both physically and behaviorally, as it became cooler. The genus Homo originated from this.

The commencement of the transition from primordial, large-brained, stone tool-making, meat-eating apes that spread out across the globe to the species Homo's beginnings in Africa is marked by this change. Three species, Homo habilis, Homo rudolfensis, and Homo erectus, are considered to be the earliest members of the human genus. It is well known that H. habilis was the first species to produce stone tools and that it still possesses basic characteristics that connect it to australopiths. Aside from the fact that H. rudolfensis shared both time and space with other early Homo and had a larger brain and set of teeth than H. habilis, little is known about this species. Thanks to its extensive fossil record, we now have a better grasp of the paleobiology and evolution of the more complex H. erectus. With a physique designed for contemporary striding locomotion, H. erectus was the first fully committed, obligate biped to emerge outside of Africa. It was also the first member of the human ancestry to leave Africa. The first Homo species are the ones who tipped our evolutionary history's scales away from the more ape-like direction and toward the more human one.
