Answer:

A lithosphere is the rigid, outermost shell of a terrestrial-type planet, or natural satellite, that is defined by its rigid mechanical properties. On Earth, it is composed of the crust and the portion of the upper mantle that behaves elastically on time scales of thousands of years or greater.

Due to the cold temperature of space, the surface layer of earth cooled off quickly. ... And forms solidified "outer layer of the earth" called lithosphere. Differentiation of magma makes two types of "lithosphere, oceanic" and continental which is characterized in the continents by "basalt in oceans" and granite
