Which sphere of Earth focuses on the solid portion of Earth?
A
atmosphere
B
biosphere
C
geosphere
D
hydrosphere
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The lithosphere is the solid part of the Earth such as rocks and mountains.

Detailed explanation-2: -In general, the geosphere is considered to comprise the entire solid Earth and its atmosphere. The Earth’s solid body is divided into the interior and exterior core, the mantle and the crust. The thin layer at the top of the crust is called the pedosphere. A high proportion of the earth is covered by water.

Detailed explanation-3: -Geo means “earth.” The Earth’s geosphere (sometimes called the lithosphere) is the portion of the earth that includes rocks and minerals. It starts at the ground and extends all the way down to Earth’s core.

Detailed explanation-4: -The geosphere includes the innermost layer of the planet, all the way up to Earth’s surface crust on which living organisms live. This sphere explicitly contains all of the solid rock on Earth and the liquid molten rock deep beneath Earth’s crust.

Detailed explanation-5: -The lithosphere, sometimes called the geosphere, refers to all of the rocks of the earth. It includes the planet’s mantle and crust, the two outermost layers. The boulders of Mount Everest, the sand of Miami Beach and the lava erupting from Hawaii’s Mount Kilauea are all components of the lithosphere.
