A lithosphere (Ancient Greek: λίθος [lithos] for "rocky", and σφαίρα [sphaira] for "sphere") is the rigid,[1] 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.

Answer:
The maximum part of Lithosphere is made of mafic crust and ultramafic mantle. The crust which is made of felsic rocks, associated with continental lithosphere.
Oceanic lithosphere gets thicker by ages. From the mid-ocean ridge it moves away. The elements are found in this sphere like silicon, oxygen, iron, calcium, sodium, potassium, magnesium etc.
