Geosphere is one of the major spheres of the earth. It is the area where there is presence of rocks, minerals and the Earth’s plastered layer (ground) externally and internally. Lithosphere on one hand is a subtype of a geosphere that focuses on the outer layers or the crust to the uppermost mantle of the earth. It has two types:
1. Oceanic lithosphere is the water crust
2. Subducted lithosphere is the land crust
While the asthenosphere is just below the lithosphere. It is responsible for the isostatic alteration and plate tectonic movements.
