Asthenosphere. Introduction. The asthenosphere is the layer of the Earth that lies below the lithosphere. It is a layer of solid rock that has so much pressure and heat the rocks can flow like a liquid. The rocks are less dense than the rocks in the lithosphere.
Tectonics and Volcanoes of Japan. Cross-section of the Northeast Honshu Arc at 38-40 degrees north. Hot rocks in the asthenosphere are modified by fluids that leave the subducted Pacific Plate. The fluids lower the melting temperature of the rocks in the overlying asthenosphere. The rocks melt to make the magma that feeds volcanoes. From Hasegawa and others (1978).
