How does the lithosphere differ from the biosphere?

The lithosphere is solid rock from the crust and upper mantle, while the biosphere is living and dead organic matter. read more

The lithosphere is the solid, rigid part of the earth formed by the crust and uppermost mantle. It's the part referred to as plates in geotectonics. The biosphere is the part of the crust composed of living matter. read more

The lithosphere is a rigid and brittle solid while the asthenosphere is a soft and ductile solid. The terms crust and mantle are used to denote differences in chemical composition; while the terms lithosphere and asthenosphere are used to denote differences in physical state (for example, rigid, brittle solid vs.. soft, ductile solid). read more

The lithosphere interacts with the biosphere, hydrosphere, and atmosphere, while the asthenosphere, being located much deeper within the Earth, does not. The asthenosphere is characterized by much higher temperature and pressure than the lithosphere. read more
