• "It is mostly solid": The geosphere (lithosphere, mantle, core) is mostly solid.
• "It includes liquid water": Liquid water is part of the hydrosphere, not the geosphere.
• "It includes Earth’s surface": The geosphere includes the Earth's surface (lithosphere).
• "It includes Earth’s interior": The geosphere includes the Earth's interior (mantle, core).
• "It is made up of gases and airborne particles": This describes the atmosphere, not the geosphere.
