Detailed explanation-1: -The lithosphere is the solid, outer part of Earth. The lithosphere includes the brittle upper portion of the mantle and the crust, the outermost layers of Earth’s structure. It is bounded by the atmosphere above and the asthenosphere (another part of the upper mantle) below.

Detailed explanation-2: -The solid crust or the hard top layer of the earth is called the lithosphere. It consists of rocks, minerals and a thin layer of soil. It has an irregular surface. Various landforms like plateaus, plains, rivers, valleys and mountains can be found on lithosphere.

Detailed explanation-3: -The lithosphere is the rigid outer layer of the Earth and is composed of rocks and minerals. It is made up of the entire crust as well as the upper part of the mantle. This rigid layer of solid rock “floats” on top of the asthenosphere, a layer of plastic-like rock in the upper part of the mantle.

Detailed explanation-4: -The crust is made of solid rocks and minerals. Beneath the crust is the mantle, which is also mostly solid rocks and minerals, but punctuated by malleable areas of semi-solid magma. At the center of the Earth is a hot, dense metal core.

Detailed explanation-5: -The lithosphere is the upper part of the earth. It includes the crust and the solid portion of the mantle. Lithosphere interacts with atmosphere, hydrosphere, and biosphere and produces the pedosphere (the soil with its biotic and abiotic components). The lithosphere contains rocks, minerals, and soils.
