What is the lithosphere?

• The lithosphere is the atmosphere surrounding the Earth.
• The lithosphere is the liquid layer of the Earth beneath the crust.
• The lithosphere is the Earth's core made of molten metal.
• The lithosphere is the rigid outer layer of the Earth, including the crust and upper mantle.

What is the biosphere?

• The biosphere is a type of plant species.
