Litosfære

Litosfæren er det stive, ytre laget av jorda. Den består av jordskorpa og den øverste mantelen. Innenfor litosfæren er asthenosfæren. Grensen mellom litosfæren og asthenosfæren er generelt forbundet med en temperaturgrense (isoterm) på 1000ºC. Litosfæren er delt inn i tektoniske plater og studeres med platetektonikk.

Det finnes to typer litosfærer. En er oseanisk (funnet i havbassenger som ikke er dypere enn at det har havskorpe). Den andre er kontinentale (synlig på land).
