  • The geosphere consists of the inside of the Earth or other planets or bodies.
  • The term Geosphere is often used to refer to the densest parts of Earth, which consist mostly of rock and regolith. The term originally applies to the four nested geospheres identified since Meteorology (Aristotle) with the states of terrestrial matter: solid (earth), liquid (water), gas (air), and plasma (fire). The nested geospheres then include the asthenosphere, lithosphere, hydrosphere, atmosphere, and the ionosphere or plasmasphere. The dense geosphere is also subdivided into the crust, mantle, and core. The outer core is unusual in that it is considered to be a liquid, yet it is a part of Earth's interior.

  • The Geosphere (大地のオーブ Daichi no ōbu, lit. Earth Orb), is a special item that debuts in Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon and the Blade of Light. One of the five spheres possessed by the Divine Dragon clan, the Earthsphere is integral to assembling the complete Shield of Seals, and is positioned in the lower right alcove of the shield. In Awakening, the Geosphere assumes a new name, Vert (碧炎 Aoen, lit. Green Flame). In all games but the DS remakes (in which it and the Starsphere's colours are switched), the Geosphere has been consistently coloured green. In the artwork portrayal of the Shield in Awakening, Vert's place on the Shield of Seals is accompanied by the inscription "green frame orb mother earth," poorly transliterated text that is certainly intended to be "Green Flame Orb, Mother Earth."
  • The term Geosphere is often used to refer to the densest parts of Earth, which consist mostly of rock and regolith. The term originally applies to the four nested geospheres identified since Meteorology (Aristotle) with the states of terrestrial matter: solid (earth), liquid (water), gas (air), and plasma (fire). The nested geospheres then include the asthenosphere, lithosphere, hydrosphere, atmosphere, and the ionosphere or plasmasphere. The dense geosphere is also subdivided into the crust, mantle, and core. The outer core is unusual in that it is considered to be a liquid, yet it is a part of Earth's interior. In modern texts, geosphere refers to the solid parts of the Earth and is used along with atmosphere, hydrosphere, and biosphere to describe the systems of the Earth. In that context, sometimes the term "lithosphere" is used instead of geosphere, however the lithosphere only refers to the uppermost layers of the solid Earth (oceanic and continental crustal rocks and uppermost mantle). Since space exploration began, it has been observed that the extent of the ionosphere or plasmasphere is highly variable, and often much larger than previously appreciated, at times extending to the boundaries of the Earth's magnetosphere or geomagnetosphere. This highly variable outer boundary of geogenic matter has been referred to as the "geopause", to suggest the relative scarcity of geogenic matter beyond it, where the solar wind dominates. In computer graphics, the term geosphere can also mean a polygonal tessellation, or polyhedron, used to approximate a sphere. It also commonly named geodesic sphere.
