- Geosphere - Definition, Characteristics, Examples, and Diagram
The geosphere refers to the solid part of Earth, encompassing the rocks, minerals, towering landforms like mountains, to grains of sand It also includes the oceanic crust, the Earth’s molten rock interior, fossilized remains, and skeletons of once-living organisms
- Geosphere - NASA Science
Geosphere studies processes and changes in the Earth’s core, mantle, and crust along with surface topography and geology, and the hazards they generate Geosphere relies on essential measurements including gravity, GNSS, InSAR, lidar, stereo optical, and hyperspectral observations Geosphere also contributes to geodesy and geodynamics research along with cross-Sphere research
- Geosphere - Wikipedia
In modern texts and in Earth system science, geosphere refers to the solid parts of the Earth; it is used along with atmosphere, hydrosphere, and biosphere to describe the systems of the Earth (the interaction of these systems with the magnetosphere is sometimes listed)
- The Geosphere - Center for Science Education
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 Beyond these parts, the geosphere is about the processes responsible for the constant recycling of rocks on Earth
- Earths Systems - Education
The geosphere includes all the rocks that make up Earth, from the partially melted rock under the crust, to ancient, towering mountains, to grains of sand on a beach

Other articles where geosphere is discussed: biosphere: …of Earth is called the geosphere; it consists of the lithosphere (the rock and soil), the hydrosphere (the water), and the atmosphere (the air)
- Geosphere Definition - Earth Science Key Term | Fiveable
The geosphere is the solid part of the Earth, encompassing all of its rocks, minerals, landforms, and the processes that shape them It includes the Earth's crust, mantle, and core, playing a crucial role in various geological processes, such as plate tectonics and volcanism
