The lithosphere is the rocky crust of the earth, Earth's surface. Burning fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) has no real effect on the lithosphere, but has a very big effect on the atmosphere.
Tsunamis do not directly affect the lithosphere, which is the outermost layer of the Earth's crust. However, tsunamis can be triggered by disturbances in the lithosphere, such as underwater earthquakes or volcanic eruptions, which generate the massive waves that can cause destruction along coastlines.
The two spheres of the Earth that affect both volcanoes and earthquakes are the lithosphere and the asthenosphere. The lithosphere is the rigid outer layer of the Earth that is broken into tectonic plates, which can cause earthquakes when they move. The asthenosphere is a semi-fluid layer beneath the lithosphere that allows for the movement of tectonic plates and the formation of volcanic activity.
The upper mantle is a part of the Earth's mantle that is located just below the lithosphere. It plays a key role in the movement of tectonic plates that make up the lithosphere. Convection currents in the upper mantle drive the movement of tectonic plates, leading to processes such as plate tectonics, earthquakes, and volcanic activity.
Oceanic lithosphere is dense enough to be forced down into the mantle. Continental lithosphere is not.

how does the atmosphere affect the lithsphere
By erosion and weathering.
A drought can dry out the soil and vegetation on the lithosphere, leading to increased erosion and land degradation. The lack of water can also affect underground aquifers and cause land subsidence in areas with heavy groundwater extraction, impacting the stability of the lithosphere.
Energy from the sun drives processes like weathering and erosion, which contribute to the shaping of the geosphere/lithosphere through the breakdown and transport of rocks and sediments. The sun's energy also drives the water cycle, influencing erosion and deposition patterns on Earth's surface. Additionally, solar radiation heats the Earth's crust, leading to processes like tectonic movement and volcanic activity.
Tropical storms can cause erosion.
The lithosphere can affect the atmosphere through volcanic eruptions, which release gases and ash into the atmosphere. Additionally, rock weathering on the lithosphere surface can release chemical compounds that interact with the atmosphere. Changes in land use and deforestation can also impact the atmosphere by altering local climate patterns.
Thunderstorms do not directly affect the lithosphere, which is the Earth's outermost solid layer. However, heavy rainfall from thunderstorms can contribute to erosion and weathering processes that can impact the lithosphere over time by wearing down rocks and changing the landscape.
The Joplin tornado did not directly affect the lithosphere, which refers to the rigid outer layer of the Earth's surface. However, the tornado's impact on the infrastructure and land surface above the lithosphere would have indirectly influenced the lithosphere through changes in land use and surface features.
The lithosphere is the rocky crust of the earth, Earth's surface. Burning fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) has no real effect on the lithosphere, but has a very big effect on the atmosphere.
The atmosphere does not affect the sun. If anything the sun affects the atmosphere.
The lithosphere is the outer layer of the Earth, made up of the crust and the upper mantle. The atmosphere essentially determines the weather of the planet, which has an effect on its surface.
