A lithosphere is the rigid, outermost shell of a terrestrial-type planet, or natural satellite, that is defined by its rigid mechanical properties. On Earth, it is composed of the crust and the portion of the upper mantle that behaves elastically on time scales of thousands of years or greater. The outermost shell of a rocky planet, the crust, is defined on the basis of its chemistry and mineralogy.

✨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 made up of rocks and minerals.
✨It is covered by a thin layer of soil.
✨The lithosphere is largely important because it is the area that the biosphere inhabit .
✨The lithosphere is Earth's outermost layer, composed of rocks in the crust and upper mantle that behave as brittle solids.
✨Lithosphere the solid part of the
earth. It consists of three main layers:
- Crust
- Mantle
- Core.
Example:-
- lithosphere is the Rocky Mountain range in western North America.
✨ If it weren't for the tectonic plates of the lithosphere there would be no change on Earth.
