The crust is the outermost shell or layer of the earth \u2013 solid and made up of lighter elements including continental crust (granite) and oceanic crust (basalt). Each layer is generally not very thick; the thickness varies from 5 km below the oceans to 70 km below the mountains. The lithosphere refers to the combination of the entire crust and a component portion of the mantle, as the word lithosphere translates to \u201crock sphere.\u201d This rigid layer is also much thicker and it is usually measuring to a depth of about 100-200 km. The lithosphere is further subdivided into tectonic running plates that relocate and collide with each other resulting to availability of earthquakes; volcanic activities as well as formation of mountains. In effect, the crust is the uppermost part of the greater, even though mechanically sturdier, lithosphere.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Question:- What is the relationship between the crust and the lithosphere?
