Answer:

The lithosphere is the solid, outer part of the Earth. The lithosphere includes the brittle upper portion of the mantle and the crust, the outermost layers of Earth's structure. It is bounded by the atmosphere above and the asthenosphere (another part of the upper mantle) below

Step-by-step explanation:

They are, in order from the exterior to the interior – the crust, the mantle, the outer core, and the inner core.
