That's what I'm trying to find out. Can somebody please answer it.! D:
The thickest part of the lithosphere is typically found beneath continental regions, where the crust can be up to 70 km thick. This thick continental lithosphere is composed of both the crust and the uppermost part of the mantle.
The lithosphere can have two main types of crust: continental crust and oceanic crust. Continental crust is thicker, older, and less dense than oceanic crust. Oceanic crust is thinner, younger, and denser, primarily composed of basaltic rocks.
The parts of the Lithosphere are the crust, mantel and core.
When two continental plates collide, the crust is thickened, buckled and deformed--gaining elevation. Mountain chains are the result; their creation occurring over periods of millions of years.
The upper section of the lithosphere is known as the crust. It is made up of solid rock that includes both continental crust, found beneath landmasses, and oceanic crust, found beneath oceans. The crust is the outermost layer of the Earth's surface.

Iron, Fe, is the 4th largest element found on the lithosphere.
The lithosphere displaces the asthenoshpere. Thick tectonic plates, such as those made of continental crust, displace more asthenosphere than do thin plates, such as those made of oceanic lithosphere.

no. helium is found in the atmosphere.
It is found in the lithosphere, which is the solid part of the earth.
