Question

Give reason why the crust is also called lithosphere​

Answer 1

Answer:

The concept was based on the presence of significant gravity anomalies over continental crust, from which he inferred that there must exist a strong, solid upper layer (which he called the lithosphere) above a weaker layer which could flow (which he called the asthenosphere).

Answer 2

Answer:

These plates usually move along smoothly but sometimes they stick and build up pressure. ... Because of this the continents ride on the denser oceanic plates. The crust and the upper layer of the mantle together make up a zone of rigid, brittle rock called the Lithosphere .
