Which of the following is true regarding the composition of the lithosphere?
The lithosphere is mostly liquid, with some medium-density materials, such as silicon.
The lithosphere is more plastic and flows slowly compared to the solid crust of Earth.
The lithosphere includes the core and the lower portion of the mantle.
The lithosphere includes the crust and the uppermost portion of the mantle, which is sold and rigid.
