What is the weaker hotter zone beneath the lithosphere that allows for motion of earths rigid outer shell?
The asthenosphere
What is the earth's solid rigid outer layer that is composed of crust and mantle?
The Lithosphere comprises both Upper Mantle and Crust.
What is the rigid shell of rock that surrounds the earth called?
The Earth does not have a "rigid" outer covering, it has an atmosphere.Below the atmosphere is the crust which is made of tectonic plates. However there plates are NOT rigid and to describe them as such would be incorrect, they deform and fold.

What are the 2 divisions of the crust?
The lithosphere is the rigid outer part of a planet and comes in separate sections called tectonic plates. It includes the outer layer or the crust and the middle layer or the mantle.
