GEOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -The geosphere includes the rocks and minerals on Earth – from the molten rock and heavy metals in the deep interior of the planet to the sand on beaches and peaks of mountains. The geosphere also includes the abiotic (non-living) parts of soils and the skeletons of animals that may become fossilized over geologic time.

Detailed explanation-2: -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. We rely on the geosphere to provide natural resources and a place to grow food.

Detailed explanation-3: -Earth has three layers: the crust, the mantle, and the core. The crust is made of solid rocks and minerals.

Detailed explanation-4: -The geosphere is made up of all rock and rocky materials on the surface and under the surface of Earth. 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-5: -The lithosphere is the solid part of the Earth such as rocks and mountains. The hydrosphere is the liquid water such as the rivers, lakes, and oceans.
