It is the rigid outermost shell of a rocky planet. Here on Earth the lithosphere contains the crust and upper mantle. The Earth has two types of lithosphere: oceanic and continental. The lithosphere is broken up into tectonic plates. Oceanic lithosphere consists mainly of mafic(rich in magnesium and iron) crust and ultramafic(over 90% mafic) mantle and is denser than continental lithosphere. It thickens as it ages and moves away from the mid-ocean ridge.
High School Earth Science/Stress in the Earth's Crust - Causes and Types of Stress. 1  Stress is the force applied to an object. 2  A deeply buried rock is pushed down by the weight of all the material above it. 3  Compression is the stress that squeezes rocks together. 4  Rocks that are being pulled apart are under tension (also called extension).
