The literal meaning of lithosphere is the sphere of rocks.The earth's solid layer is called lithosphere.The lithosphere is about 100km in thickness.The upper most part of the lithosphere is composed of rocks rich in silica and aluminum called sial.Below the sial layer the rocks are mainly rich in silica and magnesium,which is generally found below the bottom of the ocean basins .

Thus lithosphere is a part of earth which provides us land over which we live .It provides soil for the plants and is also a source of the mineral wealth.
