Answer:

crust and outer part of the mantle

Explanation:

The lithosphere is the outermost part of the earth. It is a rocky layer, which varies in thickness in the mountainous regions and in the deep sea depths, formed by the crust (terrestrial and oceanic) and the outer part of the upper mantle.

The lithosphere (name comes from the Greek, lithos = stone, rock and sphaira = sphere) relates to the other layers, the hydrosphere, the atmosphere and the biosphere, undergoing many changes as a result of these. It is composed of minerals and rocks, which can be of three types: igneous, sedimentary and metamorphic.

Earth's layers have different chemical compositions and temperatures, which favors the mantle being more liquid because there are very high temperatures, over 1000ºC. The crust is like a film, covering the surface of the planet, it is a very solid layer, while the mantle is more "plastic", that is, has a less rigid consistency.

For glaciation to begin, something needs to cause Earth's temperatures to drop. If this happens, snow that falls on the polar ice caps does not melt, and glaciers grow. As snow and ice reflect sunlight, the Earth's temperature is reduced even further, causing glaciers to continue growing.

Sea level changes cause marine transgressions and regressions. During a marine transgression, the shoreline moves inland, leaving sedimentary deposits that contain fossils. The shoreline retreats during a marine regression, leaving behind the deposited sediments.
