The movement of magma from the asthenosphere to the Earth's surface leads to volcanic activity in regions like the Pacific Ring of Fire.
The asthenosphere's flow allows for the movement of tectonic plates, contributing to Earth's dynamic crustal activity.
The ductile properties of the asthenosphere allow it to absorb stress and strain, reducing the likelihood of brittle failure.
It plays a role in the formation of mid-ocean ridges, where magma rises from the asthenosphere, creating new oceanic crust.
