The upper mantle is called the asthenosphere.
Actually, the uppermost mantle is part of the lithosphere. The lithosphere consists of the crust and attached uppermost rigid mantle.
35 - 60 Kms would be the uppermost mantle, which along with the crust forms the hard, brittle lithosphere. The Mantle is a semi-molten layer.
The layer that includes the crust and upper mantle is the lithosphere. The lithosphere is the rigid outer layer of the Earth that is broken into tectonic plates. It includes the crust and the uppermost part of the mantle.
The uppermost layer of the Earth's surface is called the crust. It is composed of solid rock and is broken up into large tectonic plates that float on the semi-fluid mantle layer beneath them.
The lithosphere includes the uppermost part of the mantle and it also includes all of the crust.

Actually, the uppermost mantle is part of the lithosphere. The lithosphere consists of the crust and attached uppermost rigid mantle.
The lithosphere is composed of the crust and hard uppermost attached mantle.
The rigid layer that is the upper mantle and crust is called the lithosphere.
35 - 60 Kms would be the uppermost mantle, which along with the crust forms the hard, brittle lithosphere. The Mantle is a semi-molten layer.
The lithosphere is the physical layer of the Earth that contains the crust and the brittle uppermost mantle.
The layer that includes the crust and upper mantle is the lithosphere. The lithosphere is the rigid outer layer of the Earth that is broken into tectonic plates. It includes the crust and the uppermost part of the mantle.
The outermost physical layer is the lithosphere (the crust plus the attached uppermost mantle).
