Can anyone tell me the layer order of the mesophere, asthenophere, tectonic plate and the lithophere?

The lithosphere consists of the heavy oceanic and lighter continental crusts, and the uppermost portion of the mantle.


The asthenosphere is the region in the upper mantle characterized by low-density, semiplastic (or partially molten) rock material chemically similar to the overlying lithosphere.


The mesosphere refers to the lower mantle in the region between the asthenosphere and the outer core.


You should consider making a sketch of where these regions are within the earth.Can anyone tell me the layer order of the mesophere, asthenophere, tectonic plate and the lithophere?
Visit the picture I posted in this side. Also read this details about layers. My research is only starting from earth surface to inner part of the earth. Honestly accept that I do not know anything about mesophere.

The details of earth.


Farley rigid solid inner core of 1250 km radius.


The outer liquid core of 2200 km thick.


3. The lower mantle of 2900 km thick.


4. The top most outer layers consist of Asthenosphere, lithosphere of 20 to 100km %26amp; crust of 30 km thick under the continents %26amp;


only about even 5 km thick under the deep ocean,


5. It is about 4.75 Billion years old.


6. Life of our earth is another 4.75 billion years.


7. Mean distance to Sun 14,95,03,923 km.


8. Mean distance to moon 3,81577.5 km,


9. Equatorial diameter 12,756.8 km,


10. Mass ( In metric ton ) 5,974 X 10 ^18,


11. Period of revolution 365 days 5 hours 48 minute %26amp; 46 seconds,


12. Total area 51,00,66,000 Sq km,
