The lithosphere can be 8 km to about 65km in depth.
The Earth's lithosphere can vary in depth from 5 km at the ocean ridges to 200 km underneath mountain ranges.
The lithosphere includes the Earth's crust and uppermost mantle. Oceanic lithosphere is typically about 50-100 km thick, while continental lithosphere has a range in thickness from about 40 km to perhaps 200 km.
The lithosphere is made up of the crust and the upper mantle. On average the lithosphere extends about 100 km into the Earth's interior.
The Lithosphere
The lower boundary of the asthenosphere is not well defined. It lies below the lithosphere and above the lower mantle and outer core. It usually lies at depths of 80-200 km but can range as deep as 700 km.

Facts about the Earths's lithosphere:The lithosphere includes the Earths's crust and upper mantle.it is broken into tectonic plates.The uppermost part of the lithosphere is known as the 'pedosphere'. This is the part that reacts to the atmosphere and biosphere through the soil forming process.there are two types of lithosphere - oceanic and continental.Oceanic lithosphere ranges between 50-100 km in thickness.Continental lithosphere ranges between 40 and 200 km in thickness.

Like 3 km deep I believe
Yes. The asthenosphere is molten and plastic, the lithosphere is mostly not molten and is rigid.
