GEOLOGY

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.

Detailed explanation-2: -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-3: -The lithosphere is the outermost layer of Earth, composed of the crust and the brittle part of the upper mantle. The term lithosphere is derived from the Greek words “lithos, ” meaning stone, and “sphaira, ” meaning globe or ball.

Detailed explanation-4: -The crust (whether continental or oceanic) is the thin layer of distinctive chemical composition overlying the ultramafic upper mantle. The base of the crust is defined seismologically by the Mohorovicic discontinuity, or Moho.

Detailed explanation-5: -The crust of the Earth is called as lithosphere. This layer is composed of the mantle and the crust. Most part of the Earth’s crust is covered by the oceans.
