The oceans, the atmosphere and the biosphere
The thin solid outermost layer above the mantle is the crust, and the crust is the layer we live on.
The Earth layer known as the lithosphere consists of the crust and uppermost mantle. There is no solid layer above the lithosphere.
Oceanic Crust
The crust is above the mantle and the mantle is below the crust
The layer of the Earth above the crust is called the lithosphere. It consists of the crust and the upper part of the mantle and is divided into tectonic plates that float on the semi-fluid asthenosphere below.
The epicenter is the spot on earth's crust directly above the spot where the earthquake formed.
Simply put, that crust which is above sea level. Most (but not all) of this crust is also "continental" crust.
The Mohorovičić discontinuity (MOHO) is located between the Earth's crust and mantle, making it directly above the Earth's crust.
The crust.
crust
The top part of the mantle and the crust above it form into lithosphere.
Magma rises through the crust above it because of pressure and depending on the magma (Pahoehoe or Aa). Pahoehoe is thin and runny and pours outside of the crust but, Aa is think and chunky and it can not pour out of a crack in the crust. It is more likely to blow out.
