Combined, they form the lithosphere, the brittle outer shell of the Earth.
The uppermost mantle and the crust makes the lithosphere.
The uppermost layer of the mantle is called the lithosphere. It is a rigid outer layer that includes the crust and a small part of the upper mantle. The lithosphere is divided into tectonic plates that float on the semi-fluid asthenosphere below.
The lithosphere is composed of the crust and hard uppermost attached mantle.
Lithosphere
The rigid layer that is the upper mantle and crust is called the lithosphere.
35 - 60 Kms would be the uppermost mantle, which along with the crust forms the hard, brittle lithosphere. The Mantle is a semi-molten layer.
The layer that includes the crust and upper mantle is the lithosphere. The lithosphere is the rigid outer layer of the Earth that is broken into tectonic plates. It includes the crust and the uppermost part of the mantle.
Lithosphere
The lithosphere includes the uppermost part of the mantle and it also includes all of the crust.
Together the crust and upper mantle make the lithosphere.
The outermost chemical layer is the crust. The outermost physical layer is the lithosphere (the crust plus the attached uppermost mantle).
