SOLAR SYSTEM

Detailed explanation-1: -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 lithosphere is underlain via way of means of the asthenosphere that’s the weaker, hotter, and deeper part of the higher mantle. It is the stable crust or the tough pinnacle part of the Earth and It is made of rocks and minerals and included a thick layer of soil.

Detailed explanation-3: -The asthenosphere is a part of the upper mantle just below the lithosphere that is involved in plate tectonic movement and isostatic adjustments.

Detailed explanation-4: -The mantle extends to the core-mantle interface at approximately 2900 km depth. Thus, the mantle contains the lower portion of the lithosphere, the asthenosphere, and the mesosphere. The crust is made of the upper portion of the lithosphere.
