Answer:
The lithosphere is the solid, outer part of the Earth. It includes the brittle upper portion of the mantle and the crust, the planet's outermost layers. The lithosphere is located below the atmosphere and above the asthenosphere.
The asthenosphere is made of melted rock that gives it a thick, sticky consistency. It acts much more like a liquid than the lithosphere. The lithosphere-asthenosphere boundary (LAB) is the point where the lithosphere changes to the asthenosphere. The depth of the LAB is not fixed, but varies by region.
