Reply To: Difference between geosphere and lithosphere?
In keeping with categorizing matter as solids, liquids, and gases, the whole Earth is commonly categorized as four “spheres:” the hydrosphere (all the waters on Earth); the atmosphere; and the lithosphere (all the solid “rock” portions). Then, the biosphere (all living things) is usually added in. Learning and understanding the innumerable ways in which these “spheres” move among and interact with one another (without the technical names of the “spheres”) are the real lessons.
