उत्तर
Yes, continents are part of the lithosphere.
- The lithosphere is the rigid outer layer of the Earth.
- It includes both the crust (continental and oceanic) and the uppermost part of the mantle.
- The continents such as Asia, Africa, North America, etc. are made up of continental crust, which is a component of the lithosphere.
So, each continent is a large mass of land resting on the Earth’s lithosphere and is indeed a part of it.
