• The term Lithosphere, it has been derived from Greek language. Lithos means rocky and sphaira for sphere means rigid. It is basically the outermost shell of the terrestrial planet or a natural satellite.

• Lithosphere is a rigid, outermost layer of our Earth's rocks & minerals, which consists of the crust & upper mantle. As we know these terms 'litho-sphere' came from the Greek word litho, which means 'stone' and 'sphere' referring to rough shape of our Earth.
