Describe the role of the asthenosphere in the
movement of tectonic plates. Be sure to
include the following terms in your
description: convection, lithosphere,
asthenosphere, putty-like, slow moving liquid.
The slow moving, putty-like liquid of the asthenosphere
causes the tectonic plates of the lithosphere to
continually move. This movement is caused by the rise
and fall of the magma of the asthenosphere due to the
convection current created by the
