The lithosphere.
New lithosphere is constantly being produced at the oceanic ridges. Lithosphere is consumed at the subduction zones. A balance is maintained because older, denser proportions of oceanic lithosphere descend into the mantle at a rate equal to seafloor production.
Large pieces of the lithosphere are called tectonic plates.
it is called the lithosphere

The part of the mantle below the lithosphere is called the Asthenosphere.
