surface. Farther down, as temperature
and pressure increase, the more likely
rocks will be able to accommodate
stress by changing shape, compressing,
stretching, and bending rather than
breaking.
Lesson 2-The Earth’s Crust
The Earth's crust is just a thin layer
surrounding our world. Although
it is the only part of the Earth any of us
see, it makes up just one percent of the
planet's total volume.
What is a Lithosphere?
The name 'lithosphere' comes from the
Greek words lithos, meaning 'rocky,' and
spheros, meaning 'sphere.' Lithosphere
is the solid crust or the hard top layer of
the earth. It is made up of rocks and
minerals. It is covered by a thin layer of
soil.
What is the Earth’s Crust
Properties of a lithosphere The outermost layer of the Earth is
We can consider the occurrence and called the crust. It's thinner than the
global location of volcanoes, other layers, and It's a little bit like the
earthquakes, and mountain ranges as peel of an orange. The crust is broken

The lithosphere is made up of rocks
from two of the Earth's significant layers.
It contains all of the outer, thin shells of

mid-ocean ridges where the crust is
being pulled apart due to the motion of
tectonic plates. Oceanic crust is about
four miles thick.
Properties of Continental Crust
1. Layer of rock which forms the
continents
2. Also forms shallow seabed close
to shore (continental shelf)
