GEOSPHERE The geosphere is the Earth itself, the rocks, minerals
... The geosphere is the Earth itself, the rocks, minerals, and landforms of the surface as well as its interior. Below the crust, which varies from about 5 km beneath the ocean floor to up to 70 km below the land surface, temperatures are high enough for deformation and a paste-like flow. At one time, ...
