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. The lithosphere lies on top of the asthenosphere. The lithosphere is made up of tectonic plates, which are pieces of land floating on the lithosphere.
The lithosphere is the crust Moho and upper mantle. It floats on a plasticity zone called the asthenosphere.
The crust and uppermost hard rocky mantle, together, is known as the lithosphere, which is above the plastic-like upper mantle area known as the asthenosphere.
Together the crust and upper mantle make the lithosphere.
The crust and upper mantle make up the earth.
The predominant rock in the Earth's crust and upper mantle is called silicate rock, composed mainly of silicon and oxygen. This type of rock is known as "peridotite" in the mantle and "granite" in the crust.
Earth's crust and brittle upper mantle is called the lithosphere.
