Answer:
The lithosphere - is the solid, outer part of the Earth. The lithosphere includes the brittle upper portion of the mantle and the crust, the outermost layers of Earth's structure. It is bounded by the atmosphere above and the asthenosphere (another part of the upper mantle) below.
The crust - The crust is the outermost solid part of the earth. It is fragile. The thickness of the crust varies under the oceanic and continental areas. Oceanic crust is thinner as compared to the continental crust. The continental crust is thicker in the areas of major mountain systems.
Ocean basin - An oceanic basin is the land surface under an ocean that includes the topography under the water. The ocean floors can be divided into four major divisions: The Continental Shelf. ... The Deep Sea Plain. The Trenches.
Continent - The seven different continents of the earth are Asia, Africa, North America, South America, Antarctica, Europe and Australia. Asia is the earth's largest continent of the seven continents in terms of both size and population.
