Lithosphere
·add. ·noun The solid earth as distinguished from its fluid envelopes, the hydrosphere and atmosphere.
II. Lithosphere ·add. ·noun The outer part of the solid earth, the portion undergoing change through the gradual transfer of material by volcanic eruption, the circulation of underground water, and the process of erosion and deposition. It is, therefore, regarded as a third mobile envelope comparable with the hydrosphere and atmosphere.

LEVEL REPRESENTING A MECHANICAL DIFFERENCE BETWEEN LAYERS IN EARTH’S INNER STRUCTURE
User:NealeyS/sandbox; Lithosphere-Asthenosphere boundary; Lithosphere-asthenosphere boundary
The lithosphere–asthenosphere boundary (referred to as the LAB by geophysicists) represents a mechanical difference between layers in Earth's inner structure. Earth's inner structure can be described both chemically (crust, mantle, and core) and mechanically.
Wikipedia
Lithosphere
A lithosphere (from Ancient Greek λίθος (líthos) 'rocky', and σφαίρα (sphaíra) 'sphere') is the rigid, outermost rocky shell of a terrestrial planet or natural satellite. On Earth, it is composed of the crust and the portion of the upper mantle that behaves elastically on time scales of up to thousands of years or more. The crust and upper mantle are distinguished on the basis of chemistry and mineralogy.
