The Geosphere

Geosphere is all the land and rock the planet is made of. The hard rocks on the
surface of the earth or crust, the molten magma inside the earth or in the
mantle, the mountains that stand tall above the sea level or surface, the hard
and cold rocks, minerals and all kinds of hard or molten structures inside the
earth including the core form the geosphere.

Since 'geo' means 'ground,' the geosphere describes all of the rocks,
minerals and ground that are found on and in Earth. This includes all
of the mountains on the surface, as well as all of the liquid rock in
the mantle below us and the minerals and metals of the outer and
inner cores. The continents, the ocean floor, all of the rocks on the
surface, and all of the sand in the deserts are all considered part
of the geosphere. Basically, if it looks like solid ground, it's part
of the 'ground' sphere.

CONCLUSION
The Geosphere is important because it defines much of the environment we live in, controls
the distribution of minerals, rocks and soils and generates natural hazards that shape the
land and impact humans. The distribution of mountains, position of continents, shape of
the sea floor and location of major rivers and flood plains are all largely products of
processes that occur in the Geosphere. The distribution of mineral resources, such as oil,
coal, metal ores and even sand and gravel are critical to the economic success of most
nations.
