| 1. | It was found that the asthenosphere had invaded the overlying lithosphere.
|
| 2. | Similarly, Earth's lithosphere " floats " in the asthenosphere.
|
| 3. | At that depth, craton roots extend into the asthenosphere.
|
| 4. | The space left behind by departing lithosphere is filled by upwelling asthenosphere.
|
| 5. | The asthenosphere erodes the lower levels of the Plateau.
|
| 6. | The intrusions were formed when upwelling asthenosphere partially melted thick overlying oceanic crust.
|
| 7. | Slumping, cracking, or plume erosion facilitates the intrusion of underlying asthenosphere.
|
| 8. | The lithosphere-asthenosphere boundary represents a rheological boundary.
|
| 9. | When this happens, there is a sudden dump of heat from the asthenosphere.
|
| 10. | Eclogite is denser than the surrounding asthenosphere.
