Answer:-

The sphere on which we live is called lithosphere. 'Litho' means rock and 'sphere' means layer. The upper layer of the Earth is made of soil and solid materials like rock. Approximately 29% of the surface of the Earth is covered with lithosphere. This layer is almost 64 km to 100 km thick. The thickness of the lithosphere is not the same everywhere on the Earth. Similarly, their interior and exterior do not have identical physical features. It is mostly made up of substances like soil and rocks.

→Hope this will help you :)
