What is the lithosphere and describe its characteristics?

The lithosphere is the rigid outer layer of the Earth composed of the crust and upper mantle. It is divided into tectonic plates that float on the semi-fluid asthenosphere below. The lithosphere is where geological processes like plate tectonics and earthquakes occur.

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. 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.


Why does oceanic lithosphere sub duct while continental lithosphere does not?

Oceanic lithosphere is dense enough to be forced down into the mantle. Continental lithosphere is not.
