The geosphere - this is the part of the planet composed of rock and minerals; it includesthe solid crust, the molten mantle and the liquid and solid parts of the earth's core. What are the features of geosphere? The geosphere is the earth itself:the rocks, minerals, and landforms of th...

An intriguing aspect of the Proterozoic geological record is the common occurrence of gigantic intrusions (on the order of 104 km2) that are composed of > 80% plagioclase and referred to as massif-type anorthosites (Ashwal, 1993). The origin of these anorthosites is contentious because of the...

Over geologic timescales, the global consumption of atmospheric carbon dioxide by basaltic weathering sequesters carbon into stable carbonate rock, which is twice as efficient as weathering carbonate rocks themselves2,3. The coevolution of the geosphere-biosphere on early Earth was also linked to the ...
The cryosphere is the frozen water of the earth and is further broken into four types: glaciers, snow cover, floating ice, andpermafrost. The Earth can be divided into two main systems: the geosphere and the biosphere. Image:James A. Tomberlin, USGS, public domain. ...

Effect of tectonic processes on biosphere–geosphere feedbacks across a convergent margin Article 22 April 2021 Introduction Deeply sourced H2 and CH4 in fluids are potentially important contributors of energy and carbon supporting the habitability of the largest microbial habitat on Earth, the deep sub...
is actively descending (green vectors). In response to the downwelling, upward return flow (red vectors) have evolved around the drip as a small-scale mantle circulation process (Fig.2b). By 20 h, the drip undergoes necking (thinning) while its rate of descent has decelerated (Fig.2c)...
