Expert Solution
Introduction.
The Earth is made up of four spheres known as lithosphere, atmosphere, hydrosphere, and biosphere. All these spheres are interdependent and affect each other.
Lithosphere comprises the outer landmass of the Earth. It includes various elements such as the tall mountains, plain lands, valleys, deserts. It comprises different rocks such as igneous, metamorphic, and sedimentary rocks. The outer surface of the Earth is dominated by sedimentary rocks, specifically the mud rocks.
