Answer:

If strips of the clay represent the earth's surface, mountains are formed in the lithosphere.

Explanation:

The strips of the clay resembling rocky surfaces represent the uppermost part of the mantle of the earth.  

The uppermost part of the earth has valleys, rocky surfaces, islands, and mountains.

Since the two plates of the earth that collide are less dense, so there are no trench or volcanoes. Only mountains and earthquakes are found in the covering plate.

Answer:

Lithosphere is the outer most part of Earth including Upper mantle and Earths crust.

Explanation:

Earths crust is always constantly created and destroyed. The earth's lithosphere appears to be static and unchanged, but in reality history has shown us its movement. The word lithosphere has Greek origin. Lithos means  stone and sphere.

Lithosphere is composed of 7-8 plates. It has three prominent layers crust, core and mantle. if the strips of clay represent earth's lithosphere, then they are mostly likely to form stone and crust just as the name of lithosphere suggests.
