It is made up of the top, rigid layer of the mantle and the crust
The lithosphere is the solid outer section of Earth, which includes Earth's crust, and the underlying cool, dense, and rigid upper part of the mantle.
A brief description of plate tectonics would be the theory that parts of Earth's lithosphere are always in motion, driven by the convection currents inside the mantle.
As odd as it is to think of things this way, continental lithosphere is more buoyant than oceanic lithosphere. The oceanic lithosphere is more dense.
The uppermost mantle and the crust makes the lithosphere.
The difference between the core and the lithosphere is the core is on the top of the lithosphere and the lithosphere is on the bottom of the core
The lithosphere is composed of the crust and uppermost hard, brittle mantle.
