The inner layer of the earth is the geosphere that extends from the surface to the Centre of the earth. Geosphere includes rocks and minerals. from molten rocks and heavy metals in the interior of the planet to the sand which are on beaches ,volcanoes, canon mountain and other materials. It is divided into 3 different layers the crust, mantle and core. The geosphere also includes non- living things (abiotic).

when the climate changes, the geosphere interacts with other parts of earth's system.

Interaction between the different spheres. Geosphere- The Geosphere comprises of rocks (solid and molten), sediments and soils. Volcanoes, mountain ranges and desserts are all a part of the geosphere. “Geo” means Earth. The Earths Geosphere also known as the Lithosphere, is the portion of the earth from the crust, straight through to the core. This sphere provides natural resources and places to grow produce.

Any activity that takes place in the Geosphere may have an impact on all the other spheres. Since the earth and its different spheres work together as a system, one change in any sphere may cause a chain reaction in the rest. For example; When a volcano erupts in the Geosphere, ash and other substances are emitted into the Atmosphere. After this eruption, rainfall (which is a process of the Hydrosphere) tends to increase, and the matter which was previously emitted is now returned to the ground, this process is bitter sweet because while some of the particles in the atmosphere falls out it may destroy plants but while doing this it enriches the soil resulting in plant growth in the Biosphere. Volcanoes also emit a substance called Sulfur Dioxide which when combined with water (Atmosphere) a substance called sulfuric acid is formed which falls down during precipitation (Hydrosphere), bringing these acids to the ground acidifying both soil and rivers and lakes (Biosphere and Hydrosphere). This acid then leaches out important nutrients from the soil into the water table resulting in a less fertile soil and the water supply unsuitable for consumption by humans. The acid also decreases the PH of the water and reduces the growth of some organisms which uses photosynthesis and without these processes global warming increases (Atmosphere).
