-Some people use the term lithosphere to describe the geosphere. Depending on the definition of geosphere (which is debated by scientists), lithosphere can mean the same thing.
-The geosphere includes everything that looks like solid ground, including the ocean floors, sand in the deserts, rocks, mountains and every bit of land or formation on the continents.
-Aristotle, the Greek philosopher who lived from 384 - 322 BC, considered the geosphere to include the motion of earth, water, fire, and air
-There are eight major tectonic plates making up the earth's geosphere. They are constantly moving, but usually only a few centimeters each year,
-Scientific study related to the earth's geosphere can be broken down into specific disciplines including those covered in geology, geography, geochemistry, geomorphology, geophysics, glaciology, mineralogy, petrology, and volcanology.
The hypertonic habitats is home to saline protists which depend on salts for their survival.
Explanation:
Protists are a multicellular organism like the algae, don't from natural groups have invertebrates. They freely occupy the environment that contains liquid water.
As these microorganisms cant breath in freshwaters the need the salts to sustain themselves and responsible for the production of 30% of oxygen in the water sphere.
Diatoms and other oozes are some of the most beautiful protists found to date, they are also home to corals and stick to the body of seafloors. As for long, they have adapted to the same type of conditions.
