Lithosphere
The uppermost layer of the mantle is called the lithosphere. It is a rigid outer layer that includes the crust and a small part of the upper mantle. The lithosphere is divided into tectonic plates that float on the semi-fluid asthenosphere below.
The uppermost part of the mantle with liquid and plastic properties is called the asthenosphere. It is a semi-fluid layer located beneath the rigid lithosphere that allows for the movement of tectonic plates.
No. The lithosphere is the outer part of Earth, consisting of the crust and the uppermost part of the mantle.
Actually, the uppermost mantle is part of the lithosphere. The lithosphere consists of the crust and attached uppermost rigid mantle.
The lithosphere includes the uppermost part of the mantle and it also includes all of the crust.
No. The lithosphere consists of the crust and the rigid uppermost part of the mantle. Therefore it is solid.
