Question

name the earth system that contains the lithosphere.
a. atmosphere
b. cryosphere
c. hydrogen
d. geosphere

Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze each option:

• Option a: Atmosphere is the gaseous layer around Earth, not containing lithosphere (solid Earth part).
• Option b: Cryosphere is the frozen part (ice, snow), not including lithosphere.
• Option c: Hydrogen is an element, not an Earth system.
• Option d: Geosphere includes the lithosphere (rigid outer layer of Earth, crust and upper mantle), so it contains lithosphere.

Answer:

d. Geosphere
