Question

what is lithospere?and explain about it

Answer 1

Hi friend,

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 atmospheres above and the asthenosphere(another part of the upper mantle) below.

 

The lithosphere is the most rigid of Earth’s layers. Although the rocks of the lithosphere are still considered elastic, they are not viscous.

HOPE THIS HELPS YOU:-))
