Answer:

The lithosphere can affect the atmosphere when tectonic plates move and cause an eruption, where magma below spews up as lava above.

Step-by-step explanation:

The lithosphere is broken into giant plates that fit around the globe like puzzle pieces. These puzzle pieces move a little bit each year as they slide on top of a somewhat fluid part of the mantle called the asthenosphere.
