Just like the skin of body ,lithosphere is the thin outermost layer of earth having an average distance of 17 km only. This layer is also a storehouse of minerals and hence it is rightly called "Mineral skin"
The thin cool skin of Earth is called the lithosphere. It consists of the outermost layer of the Earth's crust and a portion of the upper mantle, where tectonic plates are located and move around.
A spherical rock is called a concretion. Concretions form when mineral cement accumulates around a nucleus, often a small piece of organic material or mineral fragment, creating a spherical shape.
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 crust and the upper mantle are a geological part of the earth called the lithosphere. There are 2 parts of the lithosphere: the oceanic lithosphere, which is made up of land underneath water, and the continental lithosphere, which is the the part made of just land. The lithosphere lies on top of the asthenosphere. The lithosphere is made up of tectonic plates, which are pieces of land floating on the lithosphere.

lithosphere
The lithosphere was formed over a vast expanse of time as the outer skin of the earth solidified from magma.
The part of the mantle below the lithosphere is called the Asthenosphere.

Yes the crust and the top layer of the mantle is called Lithosphere.
Lithosphere is the outermost shell of a rocky planet.
Tin is a metal that rhymes with skin and is found as a mineral in nature.
