The crust is the outer layer of the lithosphere.
Another name for chunks of lithosphere is "tectonic plates." These plates are large sections of the Earth's lithosphere that move and interact with one another, leading to geological events like earthquakes and volcanic activity. The movement of these plates is driven by forces such as mantle convection and gravity.
It is called the lithosphere.
lithosphere
There are two types of lithosphere: the oceanic lithosphere and the continental lithosphere. The oceanic lithosphere exists in the ocean basins while the continental lithosphere exists in the continental crust.
The Lithosphere.
Surface layer or topmost.
The answer is in the name! The lithosphere is essentially the Earth's Crust - 'lithos' means 'rock'.

Another name for the stiffer mantle is the lithosphere.
I think its the lithosphere

The lithosphere is The crust and upper mantle that make up the earth's solid outer layer. Plants found in the lithosphere are aloe vera, Christmas cactus, neem, orchids, etc.
