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.
