Exploring The Lithosphere And Tectonic Plates

This video from MooMooMath and Science explains the lithosphere, the solid outer layer of Earth, including the crust and upper mantle. It distinguishes between oceanic and continental lithosphere, noting their differences in density and thickness. The video also covers tectonic plates, their movement, and the historical landmass Pangaea. It concludes with a discussion on earthquakes, which occur due to tectonic plate shifts.

What is the lithosphere composed of?

• The crust and the upper part of the mantle

• Only the oceanic crust

• Only the Earth's crust

• The entire mantle
