Not, notnecessarily. The lithosphere consists of the crust and the upper part of the mantle. The rocks of the crust come in a wide varity of colors. Some of the more common rocks may be black, gray, white, red, brown or red. The upper part of the mantle is largely composed of peridotite, which is green.

The crust and upper mantle are called the?

The crust and the upper mantle are a geological part of the earth called the lithosphere. There are 2 parts of the lithosphere: the oceanic lithosphere, which is made up of land underneath water, and the continental lithosphere, which is the the part made of just land.
