Detailed explanation-1: -Answer and Explanation: The geosphere includes anything that appears as solid ground. It includes, rocks, minerals, salts, soil, the solid crust, the molten mantle, the liquid outer core and the solid inner core of the planet.

Detailed explanation-2: -The geosphere has four subcomponents: lithosphere (solid Earth), atmosphere (gaseous envelope), hydrosphere (liquid water), and cryosphere (frozen water) (fig. 2). Each of these subcomponents can be further subdivided into elements: for exam-ple, the oceans are an element of the hydro-sphere.

Detailed explanation-3: -The geosphere extends from Earth’s surface all the way to its center. The geosphere includes the rocks, minerals, and soil of the crust, the mantle formed mostly of magma, and a very hot, metallic core.

Detailed explanation-4: -The Earth’s geosphere is divided into three chemical sections: The crust, composed almost entirely of light elements, like silicon. The mantle, which is 68% of the Earth’s mass. The core, the innermost layer; it is composed of very dense elements, such as nickel and iron.
