- Lithosphere: the hard, outer shell of Earth. It includes the crust (the continents and ocean floors) and the very top of the mantle. This is the rigid layer that is broken into tectonic plates.
- Asthenosphere: the softer, warmer layer just below the lithosphere. It’s partly melted and flows slowly (like warm taffy), letting the rigid plates move on top.
