Answer:
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.

LITHOSPHERE
The lithosphere is the solid shell of the planet Earth. That means the crust, plus the part of the upper mantle that behaves elastically on long time scales. Under the lithospere is the asthenosphere, the weaker, hotter, and deeper part of the upper mantle. This part can flow.
