Question

question: which of the following is viscoelastic in nature? answer options: select one of four mesosphere lithosphere asthenosphere stratosphere

Explanation:

The asthenosphere is part of the Earth's mantle and is viscoelastic, meaning it has both viscous and elastic properties, allowing it to flow slowly over geological time scales while also exhibiting some elastic behavior. The mesosphere (a layer of the atmosphere), lithosphere (rigid outer layer of the Earth), and stratosphere (another atmospheric layer) do not have viscoelastic properties.

Answer:

Asthenosphere
