It is commonly known as the lithosphere
Large segments of the crust and upper mantle known as the Lithospheric plates.
The upper mantle is also known as the asthenosphere.
lithenosphere
The mantle is composed of the upper mantle and the lower mantle. The upper mantle is known for its plasticity and convective movement, while the lower mantle is more rigid and is characterized by high-pressure conditions.
The Earth's upper mantle is composed of solid rock that flows through liquid rock, also known as lava.

Asthenosphere
lithenosphere
The solid portion of the upper mantle which behaves as a brittle solid is known as the lithospheric mantle. This part of the upper mantle along with the crust forms tectonic plates.
The crust and part of the upper mantle are known as the lithosphere. The lithosphere is the outermost solid shell of Earth that is broken into tectonic plates.
The mantle is composed of the upper mantle and the lower mantle. The upper mantle is known for its plasticity and convective movement, while the lower mantle is more rigid and is characterized by high-pressure conditions.
The Earth's upper mantle is composed of solid rock that flows through liquid rock, also known as lava.
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.
upper mantle
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).
The lower part of the mantle is called the "lower mantle" or "mesosphere", while the upper part of the mantle is referred to as the "upper mantle" or "asthenosphere".
