Detailed explanation-1: -The lithosphere is the rocky outer part of Earth. It is made up of the brittle crust and the top part of the upper mantle.

Detailed explanation-2: -Earth’s outermost, rigid, rocky layer is called the crust. It is composed of low-density, easily melted rocks; the continental crust is predominantly granitic rock (see granite), while composition of the oceanic crust corresponds mainly to that of basalt and gabbro.

Detailed explanation-3: -The lithosphere is the outermost layer of Earth, composed of the crust and the brittle part of the upper mantle.

Detailed explanation-4: -The lithosphere is the solid, outer part of Earth, extending to a depth of about 100 kilometers (62 miles). The lithosphere includes both the crust and the brittle upper portion of the mantle. The lithosphere is both the coolest and the most rigid of Earth’s layers.

Detailed explanation-5: -crust (in geology) Earth’s outermost surface, usually made from dense, solid rock.
