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.

岩石圈位于地球的表層，薄而堅硬。岩石圈在軟流圈之上，包含部分上地函和地殼。地殼在地幔之上，由莫氏不連續面作為分界。根據板塊構造學說，岩石圈并非整体一块，而是由许多板块组成。
