The Litosphere is the outermost,rigid layer of the Earth and the Crust is the outermost layer of the Earth

∙ 6y agoThe crust is part of the lithosphere. The lithosphere is composed of the crust plus the brittle uppermost layer of the mantle. Together, they form the tectonic plates which "float" on top of the plastic-like rock of the mantle called the asthenosphere. The lithosphere is hard rock, but actually composed of two different chemical layers--the very uppermost mantle, which is mainly composed of the rock peridotite, along with the crust, which is basaltic and granitic.

∙ 14y agoThe crust is at the VERY top and is much more thinner, and lithosphere is right under neath the crust and is like magma.
All of the crust is contained within a larger layer called the lithosphere.
No, it is not. It is found in the lithosphere. The lithosphere is between the mantle and the crust.
The crust is the outer layer of the lithosphere.
lithosphere
There is only a slight difference between crust and lithosphere. The difference is that the lithosphere is part of the Earth that encompasses.

The crust is part of the lithosphere. The lithosphere is made up of the crust and the upper mantle. Therefore, there is no spatial distance between the lithosphere and the crust.
The crust is part of the lithosphere, so there is no boundary between them. There is a boundary between the crust and the other part of the lithosphere which is the uppermost mantle. It is called the Mohorovicic Discontinuity or the 'Moho' for short.
All of the crust is contained within a larger layer called the lithosphere.
The lithosphere, (The "gooey" part of the mantel that is between the crust) Is moved by convection currents.
No, it is not. It is found in the lithosphere. The lithosphere is between the mantle and the crust.
The lithosphere is composed of the oceanic and continental crust, along with the brittle uppermost mantle. The continental crust is mainly granitic, and the oceanic crust is primarily basalt.
The crust is the outer layer of the lithosphere.
the lithosphere and the crust of the earth are the same lithosphere is another word for crust so the thickest is both of them.
how is the earths crust related to the lithosphere
Actually, the uppermost mantle is part of the lithosphere. The lithosphere consists of the crust and attached uppermost rigid mantle.
Yes, the crust of the Earth is part of the lithosphere
