Answer:

Earth's outer layer is called lithosphere- the word which originated from two Greek words lithos and sphaeros, meaning rocks and sphere respectively.

If we talk about physical properties of lithosphere it is the part of earth on which we are living. comprising the  uppermost part of the mantle and the crust, that is rigid solid and brittle.

Lithosphere can further be subdivided in different layers like crust, mantle, outer and inner core. Crust comprises the outermost layer of earth,

There are rocks of different types and densities found on earth, If we talk about continents, they are present of granite layer of crust.

Answer:

C.) crystalline solids

Explanation:

The solid materials may be crystalline or amorphous. The concept of crystal structure is related to the organization of atoms in a geometrical form. Crystalline structures are present in various materials, where atoms distributed within their structure form a network called the crystalline lattice. Therefore, crystalline structures have salts, metals and most minerals. Crystalline structures are formed by unit cells that are their basic unit, as they constitute the smallest set of associated atoms found in a crystalline structure.

The molecules of the crystalline structures can have two types of bonds, the directional ones, which include the covalent and dipole dipole and the non-directional ones where the metallic, ionic, van der Walls bonds. When formed by ionic compounds, these crystalline structures can result in crystalline solids.
