The asthenosphere is a part of the upper mantle of the Earth. It is below the lithosphere and can be over 400 miles thick in areas.
The lithosphere, Greek for "rocky sphere," is the outermost shell of the Earth. It is a relatively thin layer, 50-100 km thick under the oceans, 150 km thick on the continents. This website.... http://www.wisegeek.com/what-is-the-lithosphere.htm ....includes a heap of information :D
yes
The oceanic lithosphere is usually between 31 and 87 miles thick. The continental lithosphere is usually between 25 and 174 miles thick.
lithosphere
The lithosphere includes the Earth's crust and uppermost mantle. Oceanic lithosphere is typically about 50-100 km thick, while continental lithosphere has a range in thickness from about 40 km to perhaps 200 km.

Lithosphere is a 50 - 200 kmA thick rocky layer that covers the entire surface of the Earth . It is composed of a hard uppermost mantle and crust.

the lithosphere because the earth's crust is the thinest layer of the earth so by process and elimination lithosphere has to be the answer...
100 kilometers thick.

Yes, the crust of the Earth is part of the lithosphere
