The Geosphere is is made out of the; Inner Core, Outer Core, Mantle and the Crust. I have learnt that the Mantle and it’s rocks altogether go down into the Earth for about 12,000 miles. The crust on the Geosphere is 3 times thicker than the crust in the Hydrosphere.  The Outer Core in the Geosphere extends up to 3000 miles, the Inner Core in the Geosphere extends all the way up to 9000 miles. Nearly every mountain formed is formed by 2 different Geosphere’s emerging together and the Geosphere can actually either decide to go up or down.

Hydrosphere: The Hydrosphere is the water part of our Earth which means the Hydrosphere is pretty much all around us. In the Hydrosphere is the water cycle, There are three stages to the water cycle which are Evaporation (Evaporation comes from the sun's heat), The sun's heat warms up the groundwater and that makes the water start to rise up into the clouds. The next one is Condensation which is when the water does rise up into the clouds, that takes us to the last and final part of the
