Activity 1.1 The Earth’s Lithosphere

Guide Questions:

1. Based on the image, what makes up the lithosphere?

 The lithosphere is the rocky outer part of Earth. It is made up of the brittle crust and the
top part of the upper mantle. The lithosphere is the coolest and most rigid part of Earth

2. What are the types of crusts?

 oceanic crust and continental crust.

3. In what ways are the two types of crust different?

 They are different in thickness and locations.

4. What lies beneath the lithosphere? What do you think is the importance of this structure?

 Asthenosphere It fuels the movement of the lithospheric plates.
