Question
which choice names the two parts of earth that make up the lithosphere?
inner core and outer core
crust and outer part of the mantle
mantle and outer core
inner core and mantle
The lithosphere is the rigid outer layer of the Earth. It consists of the Earth's crust and the upper (outer) part of the mantle. The core (inner and outer) and the lower mantle are part of the deeper, more viscous or molten layers, not the lithosphere. So the correct choice is the one that names crust and outer part of the mantle.
