The geosphere.
The geosphere.
The Earth's mantle, core, and crust are all part of the geosphere, which encompasses the solid Earth. The geosphere includes the crust (outer layer), mantle (middle layer), and core (innermost layer) of the Earth.
The Earth's mantle is below the crust. The layers of the Earth form concentric spheres. Below the mantle is the core.
The correct order of Earth's spheres from the interior to the exterior is the inner core, outer core, mantle, and crust.
The three principal solid spheres of the Earth are the lithosphere (outermost layer made of the crust and upper mantle), the mantle (middle layer), and the core (innermost layer consisting of the outer and inner core).
The Earth's crust includes everything we know ON EARTH except for the Mantle, and core, and the elements of the mantle, and core.
The lithosphere includes the uppermost part of the mantle and it also includes all of the crust.
When humans mine for diamonds by digging into the ground, the two spheres that are most directly interacting are the geosphere (Earth's crust where the diamonds are located) and the lithosphere (the outer rigid shell of the Earth that includes the crust and upper mantle).
The layer that includes the crust and upper mantle is the lithosphere. The lithosphere is the rigid outer layer of the Earth that is broken into tectonic plates. It includes the crust and the uppermost part of the mantle.
The Earth's structure includes the core (inner and outer), mantle, and crust. The core is further divided into the inner core and outer core, while the mantle is divided into the upper mantle and lower mantle. The crust is the outermost solid layer of the Earth.
