What is the layer of bedrock near Earth's surface that forms a continuous shell around Earth called?

The layer of bedrock is called LITHOSPHERE. Lithosphere is the rigid outer part of the earth which is made up of crust and upper mantles.The geologic processes that usually occur on the earth surface such as earthquakes are originated from the lithosphere. The lithosphere is bounded by the atmosphere above and the asthenosphere below.

The layer of bedrock near Earth's surface is called the lithosphere, which includes the crust and upper mantle. It is rigid and brittle, divided into tectonic plates that can lead to geological activities. Understanding the lithosphere is important for studying Earth's geology and tectonic processes.
