which layer that is classified based on chemical composition is also found in the asthenosphere
1. One of the confusing concepts of Earth structure is the distinction between chemical layering (crust, mantle and core) and mechanical layering (lithosphere, asthenosphere and mesosphere). The scale model illustrates all of these layers on a single diagram.ne of the confusing concepts of Earth structure is the distinction between chemical layering (crust, mantle and core) and mechanical layering (lithosphere, asthenosphere and mesosphere).
