division of lithosphere
The crust is the outermost rocky layer, based on division by chemistry. The lithosphere is the outer rocky shell of the Earth, based on the physical state of the material (brittle). The lithosphere is a combination of the crust, and the brittle uppermost mantle.
The difference between the core and the lithosphere is the core is on the top of the lithosphere and the lithosphere is on the bottom of the core
lithosphere.
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 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.
Upper lithosphere, containing the continental crust/plate, known as the SiAl, and the Lowwer lithosphere composed of the oceanic crust/plate also reffered to as SiMa.
