The Lithosphere comprises both Upper Mantle and Crust.
The layer of the Earth below the crust is called the mantle. The mantle is the thickest layer of the Earth with a depth of 2,890 kilometers.
The Earth's interior consists of the crust, mantle, outer core, and inner core. The crust is the outermost layer, followed by the mantle which is composed of the lithosphere and asthenosphere. Beneath the mantle is the outer core, made of liquid iron and nickel, and the inner core, composed of solid iron and nickel.
Tectonic plates are floating on the magma (semi-molten rocks) of the mantle layer. Therefore, they form the crust layer of the Earth.
The Mantle
The largest layer of Earth's surface that is composed mostly of silicon, oxygen, magnesium, and iron is the mantle. The mantle is located between the Earth's crust and core and makes up about 84% of Earth's volume.

Crust, Mantle and Core
mantle
The middle layer of the Earth is called the mantle. It is a region of solid rock that extends from the base of the crust to the outer core. The mantle is composed of silicate minerals and is divided into the upper mantle and the lower mantle.
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

Earthâ??s mantle is the layer underneath the crust. It is composed of silicates and is nearly 2 thousand miles thick.
It is called the lithosphere.
