The hydrosphere (from Greek ὕδωρ - hudōr, "water"[1] and σφαῖρα - sphaira, "sphere"[2]) in physical geography describes the combined mass of water found on, under, and over the surface of a planet.

The lithosphere (Ancient Greek: λίθος [lithos] for "rocky", and σφαῖρα [sphaira] for "sphere") is the rigid[1]outermost shell of a rocky planet. On Earth, it comprises the crust and the portion of the upper mantle that behaves elastically on time scales of thousands of years or greater.
