The
Geosphere is the part of the Earth System that includes the crust and
the whole inside of the planet. Literally, it is the world beneath your
feet! There are thousands of different components in the Geosphere. They
can be as small as a single piece of rock. They can be as large as the
Earth’s mantle. Your research of the Geosphere will reveal connections
between different parts and processes. This shows that they are part of
the same huge system. Thinking of the Geosphere as a system will help
you to organize your knowledge and answer many questions.
