The lithosphere is made up of rocks from two of the Earth's major layers. It contains all of the outer, thin shell of the planet, called the crust, and the uppermost part of the next-lower layer, the mantle. The thickness of the lithosphere varies it is thickest below the continents and thinnest at the mid-ocean ridges, raised areas of the seafloor where new seafloor crust is formed.

Answer:

Here's Your Answer

Explanation:

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.
