The crust and uppermost hard rocky mantle, together, is known as the lithosphere, which is above the plastic-like upper mantle area known as the asthenosphere.
The lithosphere is the crust Moho and upper mantle. It floats on a plasticity zone called the asthenosphere.
Together the crust and upper mantle make the lithosphere.
The crust and upper mantle make up the earth.
The predominant rock in the Earth's crust and upper mantle is called silicate rock, composed mainly of silicon and oxygen. This type of rock is known as "peridotite" in the mantle and "granite" in the crust.
The boundary between the crust and upper mantle is known as the Mohorovičić discontinuity or Moho. It represents the change in seismic wave velocity and composition between the rigid outer layer (crust) and the more ductile layer beneath (mantle).
Earth's crust and brittle upper mantle is called the lithosphere.
