Answer: Lithosphere

Explanation:Lithosphere (mechanical). This is the rigid (“litho” = stone) outer layer of the Earth that remains mechanically strong over geological time spans. Mechanical lithosphere includes rigid layers of crust and outermost mantle capable to maintain high differential tectonic stresses, from 10 MPa to 1 GPa.
