AI overview

The lithosphere is the rigid outer layer of Earth made up of the crust and the upper part of the mantle, and it's divided into large sections called tectonic plates. Understanding the lithosphere matters because these plates move and interact, which shapes Earth's surface features like mountains, earthquakes, and ocean basins.
