Breaking of crust and formation of plates is linked with rigidity of which layer?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Lithosphere

The lithosphere is Earth’s rigid outer layer, consisting of the crust and the uppermost rigid part of the mantle. This rigid layer breaks into tectonic plates. The asthenosphere below it is relatively soft and plastic, allowing plates to move over it; it does not form the rigid plates themselves. Exam tip: remember that tectonic plates are lithospheric plates.
