Which part is considered Earths rigid outer shell?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Lithosphere

The lithosphere is Earths rigid outer shell. It includes the crust and the uppermost rigid part of the mantle, and it is broken into tectonic plates. The asthenosphere lies below it and is relatively soft and plastic-like, so it is not the rigid shell. Exam tip: associate rigid tectonic plates with the lithosphere and the weaker layer below with the asthenosphere.
