Layers of the Earth
... The asthenosphere is the layer of Earth that lies at a depth 100–250 km beneath Earth's surface. The asthenosphere gets its name from the Greek word for weak, asthenis, because of the relatively fragile nature of the materials of which it is made. It lies in the upper portion of Earth's structure tr ...

Plate Tectonics

The movement of some of these plates causes sea-floor spreading. Today the Atlantic Ocean is spreading. North America ...
