FOLLOW ME AND MARK ME AS BRAINLIST.

Lithosphere is the rigid, rocky outer layer of the earth, consisting of the crust and the solid outermost layer of the upper mantle. It extends to a depth of about 100 km. It is broken into about a dozen separate, rigid blocks, or plates. The lithosphere is underlain by the asthenosphere which is the weaker, hotter, and deeper part of the upper mantle.

Answer 2

Crust and upper mantle describes lithosphere. Because the earth's surface is made up of rocks , soil etc. That is lithosphere. But inside part of the earth is made up of hot liquid or lava.
