Both the crust and the upper mantle are solid layers of the Earth's lithosphere. However, the crust is more brittle and less dense than the mantle. Additionally, the crust is composed primarily of oxygen and silicon (silicate minerals) whereas the mantle contains more iron and magnesium.

What are the layers of the mantle?

The mantle is divided into two main layers: the upper mantle and the lower mantle. The upper mantle is further divided into the lithosphere and the asthenosphere. The lithosphere is rigid and made up of the crust and the upper part of the mantle, while the asthenosphere is semi-molten and capable of flowing.
