The rocky parts - that's everything but the core.
The geosphere includes the solid parts of Earth, such as the rocks, minerals, and landforms that make up the planet's crust, mantle, and core. It is composed of the lithosphere (outermost layer), asthenosphere (semi-solid layer beneath the lithosphere), and the mesosphere (lower mantle) and core.
The earth's solid rigid outer layer is called the lithosphere. It is composed of the crust and the upper part of the mantle, and it is divided into several tectonic plates that float on the semi-fluid asthenosphere beneath it.
The two parts of the lithosphere are the crust and the uppermost mantle.
A plate is part of the lithosphere. The lithosphere is the outermost rigid layer of the Earth's surface, and it is divided into tectonic plates. A focus refers to the point within the Earth where an earthquake originates.
The parts of the Lithosphere are the crust, mantel and core.

the lithosphere
The lithosphere is composed of the uppermost part of the mantle and the Earth's crust. The crust is divided into oceanic and continental crust, which rests on the more rigid upper mantle. This combination forms the lithosphere, which is responsible for the tectonic plate movements on Earth's surface.
The lithosphere is the outer layers of the earth surface and surrounds the inner parts of the earth.
The lithosphere is the liquid part of the earth
NO! The term refers only to the Crust and Upper Mantle. It only refers to the solid outer layer of the earth. Also consider that the Core, according to common belief, is composed of Iron and Nickel, not rock. Just stick to 'Core', or to its constituent parts, the Inner and Outer Core.
The Lithosphere
Not. That is the hydrosphere. The lithosphere is composed of stone.
The moon does have a lithosphere, it is just different from Earth's lithosphere. The moon's lithosphere is much thinner and not as actively tectonically active as Earth's. It is composed of solid, rigid rock that overlies the moon's mantle, similar to Earth's lithosphere.

No, Earth's lithosphere is not found in the inner and outer core. The lithosphere is the rigid outer layer of the Earth, consisting of the crust and the upper part of the mantle. The inner and outer core are layers beneath the lithosphere, composed of molten iron and nickel in the outer core and solid iron and nickel in the inner core.
The layer just below Earth's crust is the mantle. It is the thickest layer, and is composed of flowing rock material. The solid upper part of the mantle joins with the crust to form the lithosphere
