GENERAL GEOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -The lithosphere or geosphere is a shell of rocky planet, most rigid outer layer and solid part of the earth which constitutes crust and brittle mantle. The two major types of lithosphere are continental lithosphere and oceanic lithosphere.

Detailed explanation-2: -Earth’s land makes up the geosphere. Geo means “earth.” The Earth’s geosphere (sometimes called the lithosphere) is the portion of the earth that includes rocks and minerals.

Detailed explanation-3: -The crust and the upper layer of the mantle together make up a zone of rigid, brittle rock called the Lithosphere. The layer below the rigid lithosphere is a zone of asphalt-like consistancy called the Asthenosphere. The asthenosphere is the part of the mantle that flows and moves the plates of the Earth.

Detailed explanation-4: -The first system, the geosphere, consists of the interior and surface of Earth, both of which are made up of rocks.

Detailed explanation-5: -Despite its solid nature, the geosphere is a dynamic sphere where the surface is in constant motion. This movement creates continents, oceans, and their landforms through a process called Plate Tectonics.
