What is the difference between the lithosphere and asthenosphere that makes up the mantle?

• The lithosphere is ismade of dense solid meal whle the asthenosphere is made of liquid molten metal
• The lithosphere is a mixture of gasses while the asthenosphere is made of solid rock
• The lithosphere is molten rock that moves while the asthenosphere is ridid and thin
• The lithosphere is made of solid rock while the asthenosphere is more flexible hot rock that moves.

Convergent Plate Movement can create

• Rifts
• Mountains
• Ocean Ridges
• Radiation
